'No One Is Being Punished Anyway, Increasing Penalties In Amendment Bill Will Make No Difference': Meet Hayer
Meet Hayer further stated that the new bill proposes an increase in punishment, whereas provisions for punishment already exist, but no one has been punished since 2024.
Chandigarh: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP from Sangrur Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, while speaking in the Lok Sabha on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, saluted the struggle of the country’s youth and said that the youth power has held up a mirror to the government that has been indulging in politics of division on the basis of religion and caste for the last 12 years. He said that instead of propaganda, real issues like education and unemployment have now come to the mainstream.

The AAP MP further said that the Prime Minister’s selfie video at midnight has proved that education and unemployment are the real issues from which the BJP is running away. The Jantar Mantar protest has exposed the face of the government and delivered a strong blow to the BJP’s politics of hatred. He added that the Centre knows it has no answers on the issue of education.
The Lok Sabha MP said that the Prime Minister’s clarification through a midnight selfie video is a result of the Centre’s panic and nervousness. He said that the Centre, which is making tall claims about the new amendment bill, should know that the so-called “major reforms” it is talking about are already in place in even the smallest countries of the world.
