Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked the country’s young people for their positive response to discussions on reforming the examination system and preventing question-paper leaks. In a video message posted on Instagram late Friday night, Modi expressed gratitude to students for watching his earlier video and offering feedback and suggestions. He said he hoped their love and support would continue and strengthen the relationship.

In the caption accompanying the video, Modi thanked all young people who sent valuable suggestions after viewing the previous day’s message. On Thursday, he had announced stricter central government action against question-paper leaks, amid allegations of irregularities in the recent NEET examination and protests across the country.

Modi said fast-track courts would be established to ensure swift trials for those involved in such offences. He also said a draft bill containing tougher punishment provisions would be presented to the cabinet soon, with an effort to pass it in parliament next week. According to his statement, legal action had been taken against accused people over the past two and a half months, and about 2.2 million students were given a chance to retake examinations, with results released on July 19.
