Promising “more strict action” against those involved in paper leaks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the BJP-led NDA government would bring a tough law against the paper leaks. In a late night video message Thursday, the PM also sought to express solidarity with lakhs of families impacted by them, underlining that the draft was ready and would be passed by the Union Cabinet on Friday.

Earlier in the day, the PM announced fast-track courts to ensure speedy justice in such cases. His remarks come amid ongoing protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), with support from Opposition parties, including the Aam Aadmi Party, Congress, and Shiv Sena (UBT).
“Nothing is more important than the welfare and future of our youth! We have decided to set up fast-track courts to ensure swift and stringent punishment for those involved in paper leaks. Have directed the concerned authorities and officials to take all necessary steps in this regard. This continues our series of steps for safeguarding the interests of students. Those who try to harm the future of our youth will not be spared,” he said in an X post.
The CJP is demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, seeking fixing of accountability for the NEET paper leaks earlier. The protests in Delhi took a violent turn when CJP tried to march to Parliament on July 20.
