India has decided to set up fast-track courts to ensure "swift and stringent punishment" to prosecute people involved in exam paper leaks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday, amid protests by thousands of youth against frequent paper leaks. "Nothing is more important than the welfare and future of our youth... those who try to harm the future of our youth will not be spared," Modi said in a post on X. Opposition parties staged a protest at parliament on Wednesday demanding the resignation of India's education minister, echoing the demands of student demonstrators, before entering the chambers and forcing the suspension of proceedings.
