Paper Leak Row: Rahul Gandhi Slams PM Modi’s Paper Leak Message as Government Unveils Three Major Measures

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has strongly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late-night video message on the paper leak controversy, calling it an attempt at damage control rather than a genuine response to students’ concerns. Gandhi said that addressing students through a midnight message insults their intelligence and demanded concrete action instead of assurances. He also placed three key demands before the government, including the immediate dismissal of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The criticism comes as the Centre announced a series of major decisions within 24 hours to tackle the paper leak issue. The government first announced the establishment of fast-track courts for speedy trials in paper leak cases. It also made a key administrative change by removing the Higher Education Secretary and appointing Naresh Pal Gangwar to the post. Later, Prime Minister Modi announced that a stringent anti-paper leak law would be introduced during the current Parliament session, with the proposed legislation expected to be tabled and passed beginning the following week. The government says these measures reflect its commitment to ensuring accountability and protecting students’ interests.
