As a young Indian, I believe our generation should be given all the opportunities it deserves to learn, dream and shape the future.

“Don’t crush students’ dreams”: Irfan Pathan
Former Indian player Irfan Pathan reacted very strongly to this topic. Pathan Seal noted that years of hard work will be lost due to leakage of question papers. Every student puts in years of hard work for a better future. Their families also make great sacrifices for this. But don’t let the leaked questionnaires exceed their expectations. I have full confidence in the legal system and the authorities of the country. I hope every child gets an equal chance. Strict measures must be taken to ensure that this never happens again. Students are our future and their dreams should be cherished, said Irfan Pathan.
March to parliament and hunger strike: agitation heats up
Prominent environmental activist Sonam Wangchuk also expressed support for the student protests initiated by the Tharakan Janata Party through an indefinite hunger strike. The protesters’ main demand is that Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan take responsibility for the question paper leak and resign. After the question paper was leaked online, the exam was canceled and many students committed suicide due to the mental anguish that followed, causing much anger across the country. When the monsoon session of Parliament began, students organized a march to Parliament. Police accusations and the use of tear gas against the march sparked widespread protests in Delhi.
