BJP Protests Outside AAP's Delhi Office, Demands Minister Resignations

Delhi BJP Chief Harsh Malhotra, along with MPs and senior party leaders, led a protest outside the AAP's office today. Demonstrators raised slogans against the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government, criticising it for allegedly spoiling the future of thousands of students due to exam paper leaks.

Earlier, Punjab BJP chief Kewal Singh Dhillon alleged that the AAP government had failed to address the paper leak issue in the state and demanded the immediate resignations of Punjab's health and education ministers.

"I have said before that they are liars who say one thing and do another. Everyone knows the paper was leaked, and both ministers should step down immediately," Dhillon stated.

This follows days after BJP MPs staged a protest within the Parliament premises, demanding the resignation of Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains over the alleged paper leak in the state.
