The caption reads: “Thanks to the youngsters who watched my video yesterday and sent insightful suggestions.” In the video, Modi says: “Thank you friends.
I had the opportunity to meet you late last night.
I appreciate the way you responded to my video and your positive suggestions.
Thanks to everyone who watched it and gave their inputs.”
In that message, he said: “Friends, I know that paper leaks are not an ordinary matter.
For lakhs of students and their parents, it is extremely painful.” He also said the government had taken several steps in the past two and a half months after the paper leak incident.
According to Modi, those responsible had been arrested and were in jail, while around 22 lakh students were able to take their examinations again, with results declared on July 19.
He added that departments had been directed to prepare provisions for fast-track courts and stricter punishment, with the proposal set to go before the Cabinet before being introduced in Parliament.
Student groups, including Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) demonstrators at Jantar Mantar, have demanded accountability from the National Testing Agency and called for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
While the new reel does not announce any fresh measures, it follows Modi's earlier message outlining the government's proposed response, including stricter legal provisions and fast-track courts for paper leak cases.
His first video drew mixed reactions.
Some welcomed his direct address and the promised action, while others said students' concerns would only be addressed through stronger reforms and accountability beyond the announcements.
