Chandigarh, July 25, 2026: Retired IAS officer and MLA Balwinder Singh welcomed the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, calling it the first major victory of the country's students who fought an honest and democratic battle. He said that the arrogant government had finally been forced to bow before the determination and struggle of the students, making this a victory for the unity and resolve of the nation's youth.
Balwinder Singh said that if accountability can be established in the paper leak issue at the Centre, then those responsible for paper leaks and recruitment scams in Punjab must also be held accountable. He stated that thousands of young aspirants invest their hard work, time, and future in preparing for competitive examinations, but incidents such as paper leaks shatter their trust in the system.
He further said that serious questions have been raised over Punjab's recruitment and examination system in recent times. In such circumstances, the concerned minister should accept moral responsibility and resign. He added that when repeated irregularities occur under the jurisdiction of a department, those in charge cannot evade responsibility.
Balwinder Singh appealed to Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann to inform the youth of Punjab about the concrete and effective measures his government has taken so far to prevent paper leaks, ensure transparency in examinations, and restore public confidence in the recruitment system.
He said that every deserving student has the right to a fair, transparent, and corruption-free examination system. Since the future of both the country and the state depends on its youth, governments have a duty to take the strictest possible action against those who jeopardize the future of young people.
In conclusion, Balwinder Singh said that every individual found guilty in paper leak cases should be punished strictly in accordance with the law, so that no one dares to tamper with the dreams of young aspirants in the future and the credibility of the examination system is fully restored.
