PM Modi Announces Fast-Track Courts Amid NEET Row, CJP Continues Demand For Pradhan's Resignation

Twenty-six days after educationist Sonam Wangchuk began an indefinite hunger strike over NEET paper leaks, and four days after the Cockroach Janata Party's protest march to Parliament, the education row continues to escalate. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced plans for fast-track courts to ensure swift punishment in paper leak cases, stressing the welfare of India's youth. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and the CJP, however, continue to demand Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. Proposed talks between the government and protesters have stalled, while Parliament remains deadlocked over the issue. The CJP has now called for nationwide protests on Friday.
