Recognizing the urgent need for reform within the education sector on a national level, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a message on Instagram shortly after the Parliament approved a more stringent anti-paper leak legislation.
In his statement, PM Modi emphasized the government’s commitment to combating corruption in examination processes, asserting that “no paper mafia, paper leak syndicate, or anyone who jeopardizes the future of our youth will be spared.” He explained that the introduction of stricter laws was essential to address these issues.
He noted, “We brought the Bill to Parliament, and as promised, over the past two days, a significant number of MPs engaged in thorough discussions in both Houses. Today, both Houses have successfully passed this legislation, which includes stringent laws and measures.” He described this achievement as a major step forward in promoting transparency within the education system.
In his video address, PM Modi reiterated that those who threaten the futures of young individuals would face severe consequences, reinforcing the necessity for robust legal frameworks.
