On Thursday, July 23, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted that the welfare of the youth is paramount and the government has decided to set up fast-track courts to punish those responsible for paper leaks. “Nothing is more important than the welfare and future of our youth!”, he posted on his official X account. The prime minister’s statement comes amid ongoing protests by students and activists over alleged irregularities in the conduct of examinations, including National Eligibility cum Entrance Test NEET (UG) paper leaks.

“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,” he said.

“Those who try to harm the future of our youth will not be spared”, he said. Responding to this, the Cockroach Janata Party reiterated that Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan must resign. “Dharmendra Pradhan must resign,” the union wrote in the post.
 
 

This is a couple of days after massive chaos erupted in the capital city of the country in the name of a 'students' protest. The protesters, who claimed they were peaceful, ended up pelting stones at the Delhi police and RAF personnel and also raised Islamic slogans like 'Nara-e-Takbir Allah-hu-Akbar'. Several protesters gheraoed the RAF personnel and assaulted them brutally, the video of which is also making rounds on social media.
 
 
 

Further, following the PM's announcement, the Congress, which also joined the CJP demanding the resignation of Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, said the announcement on setting up fast-track courts to punish those involved in paper leaks was "too little, too late and too deceptive", alleging that the government had covered up and enabled such incidents over the past 12 years.

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the students demand genuine accountability for the Modi government's failure to prevent paper leaks, its unwillingness to acknowledge them when they occur, and its inability to investigate them fairly.
 

"The demands are clear: 1. Sack Mantri Pradhan. 2. Apologise to the students. 3. Take action against those who assaulted them," Ramesh said on X. "The Pradhan Mantri's announcement of fast-track courts to punish those involved in paper leaks is too little, too late, and too deceptive," he said.
 
 

Notably, 16 Delhi Metro stations have been closed from 7.30 am on Thursday until further notice as security was tightened amid Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests in the national capital. According to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), entry and exit have been suspended at stations including Rajiv Chowk, Central Secretariat, Mandi House and Lok Kalyan Marg. However, interchange facilities remain available at Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House and Central Secretariat.
 

This is after the fresh clashes broke out between protesters and security personnel at Jantar Mantar, with police firing tear gas shells and carrying out a baton charge to disperse the crowd. At least six police personnel, including two ACP-rank officers, were injured in separate incidents of alleged stone-pelting, according to police sources. Authorities said "anti-social" elements had infiltrated the protest, escalating tensions and attacking security personnel. Internet jammers were later activated in parts of central Delhi as security was tightened.
