'Fulfill the demands first': CJP hits back at PM Modi's message for youth

New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's message stressing the welfare and future of the country's youth appeared to have little impact on the ongoing NEET protests, with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) hitting back by reiterating its key demands, including the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

PM announces fast-track courts for paper leak cases

In a post on X, the Prime Minister said nothing was more important than the welfare and future of the youth and announced the setting up of fast-track courts to ensure swift and stringent punishment for those involved in paper leak cases.

Modi wrote: "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. 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. Those who try to harm the future of our youth will not be spared."

CJP reiterates demands, seeks minister's resignation

Responding to the Prime Minister's statement, the CJP shared his post on X and said the government's priority should be to fulfil the demands raised by the protesting students.

The party reiterated its key demands, including:

  • The resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
  • Comprehensive reforms in the education system.
  • An apology to all students affected by the paper leak.
  • Concrete action to address the concerns raised by the youth.

The CJP wrote: "First and foremost, you should fulfill the demands of the youth. The resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. The corrupt system must be reformed. An apology must be sought from all students.

"These are the very youth of your own country, Prime Minister ji, who are fighting for the future of the students."

The exchange comes as protests over the alleged NEET paper leak continue at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, where demonstrators have been demanding accountability, education reforms and action against those responsible for the examination controversy.

Thousands of young people have joined the protests, with crowds swelling in support of the movement that has cornered the Modi government since the police crackdown on protesters during the Parliament March on July 20.

The movement gathered further momentum after activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is on an indefinite fast in support of the agitation, was forcibly removed by police from Jantar Mantar and admitted to a government hospital.

He has since been shifted to a private medical facility following a court order.
