(Dr Daljit S Cheema says decentralisation, coupled with strong national SOPs, will reduce systemic risks & improve accountability)
Chandigarh 26 July ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today while welcoming the proposed Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026 called for empowering States to conduct examinations for their own recruitments and institutions. In a statement here, SAD senior leader Dr Daljit Singh Cheema said while stronger punishment for those involved in paper leaks was necessary, punishment alone could not guarantee the integrity of public examinations.
Dr Cheema said in the true spirit of cooperative federalism, the Union Government should frame uniform national security standards while empowering States to conduct examinations for their own recruitments and institutions. “Decentralisation, coupled with strong national SOPs, will reduce systemic risks, improve accountability, strengthen public confidence and ensure better protection of the aspirations of millions of honest students”.
The SAD leader said meanwhile the law should place equal emphasis on preventive measures—robust SOPs, secure technology, end-to-end accountability, regular security audits and foolproof examination protocols to ensure that leaks did not occur in the first place. “India’s vast geography, linguistic diversity, varying infrastructure and technology levels, and the enormous logistical challenge of transporting confidential papers to thousands of examination centres make highly centralised examinations inherently more vulnerable” he added.
