During a debate in Lok Sabha on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said, "When...a question paper is leaked...what is stolen is...the value of somebody's hard work." "Students don't just carry...admit card into the exam hall, they carry years of hard work, sleepless nights, and the hopes of entire families," Tharoor added.
