Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announces a panel to overhaul the country’s exam system following protests by youth activists tied to an exam paper leak scandal earlier this year. According to Free Malaysia Today and The Express Tribune, the announcement is Modi’s first public comment since Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned on Saturday. Pradhan’s resignation follows protests that erupt after disclosures related to exam paper leaks reported in May, with demonstrators demanding changes to how exams are conducted and questions are secured. The Express Tribune characterizes the move as Modi breaking his silence after Pradhan quit amid the demonstrations. Channel NewsAsia also reports the same announcement by Modi and frames it as a response to the protests. Across the coverage, the central points are that Modi publicly addresses the issue, a new panel is formed to examine and implement reforms to the exam system, and the political developments around Pradhan’s resignation are directly linked to the unrest sparked by the alleged leak and the public reaction to it.
