New Delhi: Cockroach Janta Party on Thursday, July 23, hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he posted on X that fast-track courts will be set up to ensure action against those involved in paper leak.

“Nothing is more important than the welfare and future of our youth!” PM wrote on X. Later, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke reposted the message with a picture of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan with text, “Hi my name is Nothing,” implying that for the PM, the minister is more important.

CJP expressed dissatisfaction with the PM’s response, reiterating that they will not leave Jantar Mantar until Pradhan is either sacked or resigns.

The PM, after months of silence on the issue, issued a statement on Thursday, saying that the government has decided to set up fast-track courts to ensure swift and stringent punishment for those involved in paper leaks.

“We have decided to set up fast-track courts to ensure swift and stringent punishment for those involved in paper leaks. Have directed the concerned authorities and officials to take all necessary steps in this regard.” He said that the step is a part of a series of measures by the Central government for “safeguarding the interests of students”.

How can a person who can’t even spell NEET be expected to stop paper leak: Ashutosh Ranka

11:30 am: CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka emphasised that although Modi’s response, after a month of agitation, is a “good thing,” the real issue is yet to be addressed.

He took a swipe at Modi’s foreign tour in an interview with PTI, as he said, “Perhaps his (PM Modi) foreign tour has concluded and he has returned to India—that is a positive development. However, the punishments being handed out after the paper leak has already occurred will not solve the problem.”

He highlighted that it is crucial to understand “why” the paper leaks occur in the first place, which he attributed to the “corrupt” education system. “Paper leaks are occurring in this country because from top to bottom, the entire system is filled with incompetent and corrupt individuals, starting right with the country’s Education Minister,” said Ranka.
