Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses NDA MPs at the party’s “Mangal Milan” meeting, defending the Centre’s response to the NEET paper leak and emphasizing measures taken to protect students. Multiple reports say he highlights that the government moves promptly after irregularities are reported and stresses the need to handle the issue decisively across the country. Modi also calls for strict action against those allegedly involved, while assuring students of support during the process.

According to Times of India, Modi tells NDA MPs that the Centre has taken swift and strict steps to safeguard students’ futures, including that 13 accused are arrested. He also urges states to cooperate with the Centre to prevent similar incidents, framing the response as being in the national interest. Both outlets link his remarks to ongoing public concern after students protest in Delhi over alleged NEET irregularities and seek accountability.

Mint adds that Modi prioritizes a re-test arrangement and says results are declared without delay. He also urges broader action to address paper leaks nationally and reiterates that accountability measures are part of the Centre’s response.
