[03:26] Narendra Modi is working in a completely different zone. The Prime Minister spoke directly to the students and informed them about the new strict law to prevent paper leaks.

[03:38] and informed them about the new strict law to prevent paper leaks. Today I had given instructions to the departments for fast track court. Today, after

[05:06] other central government recruitment and entrance exams. This includes leaking question papers, obtaining, selling or buying question papers, solving or getting question papers solved before the exam. The

[05:31] offences covered include organised cheating in examinations, hacking into computer networks or exam systems, substituting for a candidate, and obstructing the examination process. The under this law. CBI has made a total of 13 arrests under the law made 2 years ago. All 13 accused in the NEET paper leak case are in jail. No one has

[05:48] got bail. CBI has filed the charge sheet. But no accused has been punished yet. The But no accused has been punished yet. The is in place then what new will the new law bring? Here it is important to understand the difference between the old law and the new law regarding paper leak. The

[06:03] Here it is important to understand the difference between the old law and the new law regarding paper leak. The two different types of punishment for individuals and organised offenders. There is a provision of

[06:15] 3 to 5 years imprisonment for individuals who leak the paper and 5 to 10 years imprisonment for organised criminals [music]. Under the new law, 10 years imprisonment will be certain.

[06:27] Under the old law on paper leak, individuals could be fined up to Rs 10 lakh and organised offenders could be fined up to Rs 1 crore. Under the new law, the amount of fine is being increased to Rs 10 crore. Under the old law, paper leak cases were heard

[06:42] in the district courts. Under the new law, paper leak [music] cases will be heard in fast track courts and the verdict will have to be given within 3 months. That and the verdict will have to be given within 3 months. That

[06:56] means Modi government is making the punishment harsher. It is also increasing the fine. Two years ago in 2024, the paper leak bill was

[07:09] introduced in Parliament by Jitendra Singh, Minister of State, DoPT. This time also the government can give this work to Jitendra Singh. Jitendra Singh along with JP Nadda is talking to representatives of Cockroach Janata Party. Three days ago, during Rahul Gandhi's protest at the PM House, Jitendra

[07:23] Singh was also sent to convince Rahul Gandhi. The Hon'ble Prime Minister yesterday announced a fast track court to handle paper leak incidents and

[07:35] ensure their punishment as soon as possible. Today the Today the Union Cabinet passed an effective bill providing for stringent punishment to those involved in this crime.

[07:47] Union Cabinet passed an effective bill providing for stringent punishment to those involved in this crime. under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, our government is making

[08:02] our government is making with sensitivity.

[08:19] found out the conviction rate in old paper leak cases. proving the crime is between zero to 1%. That means, in cases of paper leak,

[08:32] arrests are made and cases are also filed, but no one gets punished. Usually, the accused of paper leak gets bail even before the trial begins. Bail can also be granted if the charge sheet is not filed within 90 days. There is

[08:50] accused benefit from this. The crime of paper leak cannot be proved in the court. In the new era, paper leaks mainly happen through electronic sources. It is more difficult to get punishment in this. Those who

[09:02] through electronic sources. It is more difficult to get punishment in this. Those who leak the paper are technically advanced. It is

[09:15] evidence gets destroyed. It is also difficult to prove money transactions in court. also difficult to prove money transactions in court.

[09:27] Students and parents do not come forward to testify in paper leak cases. Editor-in-Chief Rajat Sharma asks renowned lawyer Harish Salve about the paper leak law. Listen to Harish Salve's words very carefully. Will there be any benefit from the fast track

[09:43] ? The advantage of the fast track court will be that whatever criminal cases are pending today will not take five years but will be over in six months. So this will be his advantage. But I am

[09:58] seeing this today also. Today some reports came about the existing law, the current law is the general criminal law, in BANS,

[10:11] in BANS, paper leaking related to examination should be a crime, any collaboration in it, any conspiracy in it, that should also be a separate crime and whoever does this, be it a teacher, paper setter, handler,

[10:26] printer, no matter how small his role, should be punished with 5 to 10 years of imprisonment. playing with the lives of children. This is absolutely correct of you. Whatever trust was lost due to paper leak [sound of clearing throat], it was lost because the person who

[10:41] leaked the paper was caught and got bail. 24 out of 25 people got bail. The court granted bail. Then he could not get the punishment. No evidence was found against him. So can there really be a can stop all this? See what the offense is today? Today,

[10:58] for which crime have you arrested them, the for which crime have you arrested them, the offences under general law are cheating, interfering offences under general law are cheating, interfering with public service, these are general laws, these

[11:11] general laws will be applicable on them, in this generally bail is granted, they are also getting bail, in this legal framework which will be made, it should also be there that bail will be granted only then, you should make it higher standard

[11:24] that bail will be granted only when, like in PMLA, you will have to show that there is no case against you because you are withdrawing and secondly, if the person against whom a case is registered is not acquitted with honour, that person should be expelled from any exam and

[11:42] education related institution and activity for life, Narendra Modi is engaged in changing the examination system completely. He is providing

[11:54] He is providing permanent solution to the paper leak mafia. permanent solution to the paper leak mafia.

[12:07] computer-based tests (CBTs) will be conducted from next year. Higher Education Secretary Vineet Joshi has been transferred. 47 NTA officers have been dismissed. And now officers have been dismissed. And now preparations are underway for a new law on paper leak.

[12:23] Before making the new law, the government has talked to the High Court and prepared three special fast track courts. The first fast track has been built at Rouse Avenue in Delhi. Here Anu Grohar Baliga has been appointed judge in the fast track court. A

[12:38] second special fast track court has been set up in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. SV Pawar has been appointed judge here. A

[12:50] Here Gulshan Kote has been made the special judge. The cases related to paper leak in Delhi and Maharashtra will be heard in these special fast track courts. But the opposition is the opposition. He has to protest. Will it be decided

[13:04] in the fast track court? Because the CBI does not file a charge sheet against the paper thieves caught in the NEET paper leak in 2024 for 90 days

[13:17] says, Sir, since you did not file the charge sheet within 90 days, he got bail. This means that Bharatiya Janata Party has a deep relationship with these paper thieves. So the law wasn't there already? Wasn't there already a law to punish those who commit this crime

[13:33] ? Who is the enforcing agency? Action was taken against someone. The Who is the enforcing agency? Action was taken against someone. The kingpin of this NEET was given a clean chit by the CBI yesterday. Will the students make the law ?

[13:48] Congress President Mallikarjun has a problem with the fact that why did Modi make a video for the students at midnight? If he has to say something then he should say it in the House. Only then will we understand his authentic words.

[14:07] Instead of doing it at 12:00 in the night, if he comes to the Parliament during the day and says what he wants to say, we will see. Rahul Gandhi has found a new toolkit for politics. Pet gun.

[14:22] Rahul Gandhi alleges that pet guns were fired at students during the student protest in Delhi. at students during the student protest in Delhi. To prove his point, Rahul Gandhi brought a pet gun victim. The

[14:37] government has said that no pet gun was used. I

[14:50] This is called pet gun. is fine and his eye is damaged.

[15:14] So this is our future, India. is our future, India. Thousands of such youth have been attacked with pet guns, Thousands of such youth have been attacked with pet guns, lathi-charged, beaten and beaten.

[15:26] So the government will have to stop lying. Rahul and Rahul's party did not allow any work to be done in the Parliament even today. What definitely happened in the Rajya Sabha was that the government, definitely happened in the Rajya Sabha was that the government, seeing the opportunity, introduced the Vande Mataram Bill. There was a

[15:41] seeing the opportunity, introduced the Vande Mataram Bill. There was a JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh participated in it on behalf of the government. The CJP

[15:54] Nadda and Jitendra Singh participated in it on behalf of the government. The CJP sent two of its spokespersons, Saurabh Das and Ashutosh Ranka. In

[16:12] We have told them that we will meet you tomorrow afternoon and then we will go to

[16:25] Jantar Mantar as the pace of events is very fast. JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh

[16:38] Then both these ministers met the representatives of CJP. But the student protest going on at Jantar Mantar has met the representatives of CJP. But the student protest going on at Jantar Mantar has gone beyond the control of Sonam Wangshuk and Abhijeet Deepak. Therefore, CJP is also under pressure. CJP has

[16:53] three main demands. Number one: resignation or dismissal of Dharmendra Pradhan. resignation or dismissal of Dharmendra Pradhan. Number two, withdrawal of FIR lodged against agitating students and number three,

[17:10] compensation of Rs 1 crore each for need suicide victims. CJP is calling these three demands non- negotiable. The government is showing positive signs on two of these demands. Our main demands are three. Two of them are demand compensation and withdrawal of FIR and

[17:24] demand compensation and withdrawal of FIR and son guarantee, on which the government is positive. And we are also talking about one more thing on resignation. Another thing has happened simultaneously. We said that

[17:38] many young boys and girls of this country are being retained by Delhi Police since last night and the whole day and even today.

[17:52] But if it is happening then he has assured that this will not happen. The matter is stuck on the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

[18:04] Congress is also demanding the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. Samajwadi Party, Aam Aadmi Party and many other opposition parties are also demanding the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan and Cockroach Janata Party is also demanding it. The government has sought one day's time from the CJP. There will be another round of

[18:19] sought one day's time from the CJP. There will be another round of talks between the government and the CJP on Saturday at 3:30 pm. We told the government in very clear words that

[18:31] Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation is non- negotiable. negotiable.

[18:43] protests that are going on here, the protests that are going on across the country, will not stop. We have clearly communicated to the government that we cannot waste any more time on this.

[18:56] we cannot waste any more time on this. If Dharmendra Pradhan does not resign soon, if if Dharmendra Pradhan is not dismissed in the next one or two days. Then another

[19:08] Dharmendra Pradhan is not dismissed in the next one or two days. Then another national call will be given like on 20th July

[19:23] and we have also told the government that this time the call will be much bigger than the one on 20th July, it will be time the call will be much bigger than the one on 20th July, it will be

[19:36] Narendra Modi does not work under pressure but since students are on the streets, pressure is visible on the government. Modi government is listening to the students carefully. Resolving their issues. The entire examination system is changing and a new law is also being brought in.

[19:53] changing and a new law is also being brought in.
