Prime Minister Narendra Modi has broken his silence on the NEET controversy, announcing a major crackdown on paper leak cases while assuring the country that those responsible for jeopardising the future of India's youth will face swift justice. Addressing the issue, the Prime Minister said that fast-track courts will be established to ensure speedy trials and stringent punishment for those involved in examination paper leaks. He also directed authorities to take immediate action against the accused, stressing that protecting the future of students remains one of his government's highest priorities. Modi's remarks come at a politically charged moment, with the CJP continuing nationwide protests and the Opposition intensifying its attack on the Centre over alleged examination irregularities. The Prime Minister's announcement follows days of demonstrations, including the high-profile 'Chalo Sansad' campaign and sustained protests demanding accountability. WATCH

Sonam Wangchuk ended his 26-day hunger strike after receiving assurances from the Centre on key demands linked to the NEET paper leak protests. The political controversy has quickly intensified. Congress MP Imran Masood has accused Wangchuk of striking a "personal deal" with the government and called him "Anna Hazare Part 2." Meanwhile, Mahua Moitra warns Wangchuk not to let the government dilute the movement and questions the reported proposal to send protesters across the country. At the same time, CJP makes it clear that its protest at Jantar Mantar will continue until Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns.
