“Not one word of empathy for the parents who have lost their children, for the children who have died, for the incredible resilience of students demanding their rights, for Sonamji and the students who were on a hunger strike for weeks,” she wrote, before asking, “How hard can it be, Sir?”
She further added, “It took 47 days for you to say something. And now that you have, you have said nothing. Nothing that can heal the millions of hearts that are broken.”
PM Modi’s Midnight Video Message
In his video message, Prime Minister Modi assured the nation that the government would take stringent action against paper leaks and those responsible.
“I know that a paper leak is not an ordinary matter. Millions of students and their parents are in great pain because of it. Therefore, following the paper leak incidents, the government has taken several steps over the last two-and-a-half months,” he said.
The Prime Minister added that the government’s priority was to ensure that students did not lose an academic year.
“Our most important responsibility was to ensure that students did not lose an academic year. It was very important to conduct the examinations at the earliest. The government used its full strength to organise examinations for nearly 22 lakh students. The results were declared on the 19th, and the happiness of students has spread across the country. But we are not among those who stop there.”
He further said that the government has directed departments to fast-track the cases and that the proposed legislation would be discussed in the Cabinet before being introduced in Parliament.
“And that is why I instructed the departments to prepare for a fast-track court today. The departments worked hard and submitted their recommendations to me late at night. Tomorrow, there will be a discussion in the Cabinet. After the Cabinet’s advice, it will be given its final shape. From Monday, when the second week of Parliament begins, we will try to get that Bill passed as soon as possible,” he said.
