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
