In a post on X, Modi stressed that the welfare and future of the country's youth remain the government's highest priority. He said the Centre has already directed the concerned departments and officials to take all necessary steps to ensure swift justice in such cases.
"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. This is another important step towards safeguarding the interests of students," the Prime Minister wrote. He also issued a stern warning, saying, "Those who try to harm the future of our youth will not be spared."
The announcement comes amid nationwide outrage over alleged paper leaks, particularly the NEET-UG controversy, which has sparked widespread protests by students demanding accountability, transparency and reforms in the examination system. Demonstrations have intensified in recent days, with several public figures extending support to the agitating students.
The Centre's decision to establish fast-track courts is being seen as an attempt to restore confidence among students and ensure that those responsible for compromising the integrity of competitive examinations face swift legal consequences.
