Treasury bench MPs on Thursday defended the Centre's handling of the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and criticised the Opposition for politicising the issue during the debate on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi highlighted the government's response, including talks between Union Ministers J.P. Nadda and Jitendra Singh with protesting students and activist Sonam Wangchuk, the resignation of former Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, the setting up of a fast-track court, and the constitution of a high-level task force headed by Nandan Nilekani to recommend examination reforms, reports TOI.

Supporting the Bill, Trivedi said it was based on three principles—a student-centric approach, a secure examination system, and stringent action against paper leaks. He noted that the proposed law provides for tougher punishment, time-bound investigations, and faster trials to deter examination fraud. JDU MP Sanjay Jha backed the legislation, urging that the issue should not be viewed through a political lens. Shiv Sena's Milind Deora suggested students should be involved in the reform process by giving them a formal role in the consultations.
