Kejriwal cancels Punjab tour as opposition demands Education Minister’s resignation over cheating scandal

Arvind Kejriwal cancelled his three-day tour of Punjab after the opposition intensified demands for Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains’ resignation over alleged question paper leaks. The controversy gained momentum when a cheating racket was dismantled during a pharmacy officers' recruitment exam, with candidates using pen cameras and wireless devices to cheat. Kejriwal denied any leaks, blaming BJP for tarnishing Punjab’s education record. Opposition parties demanded an independent probe and Bains’ resignation in protests across the state.
