NEW DELHI: Meta on Tuesday admitted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first selfie video on Facebook, meant to address GenZ over NEET paper leak, was taken down briefly due to an “error”.”The content was removed in error and has since been restored,” said a Meta spokesperson, as quoted by ANI.This comes as PM Modi’s video was “unavailable” for a little time on Facebook but was later restored. The video was PM Modi assuring that the government will bring in more strict actions against paper leaks. In a late night video message, PM had said that the Union Cabinet will discuss these stringent measures in Parliament and the government will try to get the Bill passed.His message came amid massive nationwide protests at the time against alleged irregularities in the NEET UG examination. “I know that paper leak is not an ordinary issue. It is very painful for lakh of students and their guardians,” he said.Further talking about the bill on fast track courts he had added, “On the 19th July, the results were declared. I directed the departments today to establish a fast-track court. The departments presented me with the resolution late at night. This resolution, along with the provision for a fast-track court and harsh punishment, will be discussed in the cabinet tomorrow. After the suggestions of cabinet colleagues, it will be finalised, and since the second week of Parliament is starting from Monday, efforts will be made to get that bill passed in the House as soon as possible.”
