Rahul Gandhi backs CJP protesters, calls Modi 'most anti-youth' PM over exam paper leaks

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over alleged exam paper leaks and the handling of student protests, calling him the "most anti-youth" prime minister in India's history. Gandhi claimed that 152 exam papers had been leaked, affecting 7.5 crore students, alleged that no culprits had been punished, and accused the government of using force against students who raised concerns over the issue.

The boys and girls who are walking the streets of Delhi are not criminals, he said in a video message on social media platform X, adding that they are demanding their rights. "Their rights are to have an education system that respects them, an education system that is fair, and an education system that works."
