Delhi: On the Cockraoch Janta Party protest, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman says, “A matter which relates to students, young people of this country, particularly about their preparation for exams, exam paper leakage and re-exam, these are very sensitive for that age of the children who are undergoing the preparation. If the government is not sensitive or not reacting, I can understand the opposition going on a tirade like this. At the level of the Prime Minister, a response has been given, in fact much before today’s announcement of setting up fast track courts and assuring the punishments will be handed over to those people who violated the sacredness of an exam by leaking the papers, by buying papers, by selling papers. Even earlier to this announcement, the government arrested those people who actually committed this crime. There are people, ordinary citizens who are in the country who for their selfish reason violated and bought and sold papers, leaked papers, they’ve all been arrested. Today’s announcement by the Prime Minister assures the citizens, the mothers and the fathers who are so expecting their children and supporting them to make sure that they pass these examination because it’s their career, can see that the arrests have been made. Today, PM has announced that fast track process will be set-rolled and those who have done this terrible crime against the young generation of our country will be punished at the earliest.”
