Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday thanked young people across the country for their strong response and valuable suggestions after he announced the government's decision to introduce a tough law against paper leaks.

Cabinet Clears Anti-Paper Leak Bill
The proposed legislation received approval from the Union Cabinet on Friday. The decision follows Modi's announcement in an Instagram video posted shortly after midnight between Thursday and Friday, where he outlined the government's plan to bring stricter measures to tackle paper leaks.
The upcoming bill is expected to include stringent provisions aimed at preventing examination paper leaks and ensuring stronger accountability.

Video Sets New World Record
Modi's earlier Instagram reel achieved a new global milestone by becoming the most-viewed reel within 24 hours. The video has recorded 303 million views so far, surpassing the previous record of 300 million views.
Announcement Comes Amid Student Protests
The Prime Minister's outreach to young people came just four days after thousands of students, led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), organised the 'Sansad Chalo' march.
The protesters demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in examinations, including concerns related to paper leaks. The government's decision to introduce a stricter law comes as the issue continues to dominate political and public debate.
