New Delhi, Jun 18 (PTI) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday questioned the government’s decision to temporarily ban Telegram as a measure to prevent examination paper leaks, alleging that such steps would not address the root cause of the problem.

In a video message posted on X, Kejriwal asserted that banning the messaging platform was not the solution to the problem and claimed that the authorities were not serious about tackling the issue.

“The business of paper leaks is worth billions of rupees,” he alleged, claiming that large sums of money generated through such activities reach influential people.

The former Delhi chief minister further alleged that money from paper leak rackets was being used for political purposes, including the purchase of legislators.

Kejriwal emphasised that paper leaks would continue unless systemic changes were introduced and called on people to come together to demand reforms. “The whole system will have to change,” he said. PTI SHB SMV MPL MPL
