Modi vows punishment for exam fraud in first comments on Indian student protests
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledged stringent punishment for exam fraud following student protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) movement. The protests, demanding the resignation of the education minister over question paper leaks, escalated into violent clashes with police, injuring 178 people. The CJP movement, initially a satirical response to a judicial comment on youth, has expanded to criticize Modi's governance and address youth unemployment.
