Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday termed the enforcement of the anti-paper leak law a “whitewash” and asserted that the BJP could not evade its responsibility in “promoting corruption and education mafia”.

The Centre on Friday operationalised the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, which aims at curbing malpractices and irregularities in competitive examinations and entails provisions for a maximum jail term of 10 years and a fine of up to Rs 1 crore for offenders.

In a post on X, Kharge claimed that 70 question papers were leaked in the last seven years and sought to know why the BJP had taken no action so far. “No matter how much effort the BJP makes in the NEET scam, it cannot escape its responsibility in promoting fraud, corruption and education mafia,” Kharge alleged.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
