CJP Calls Nationwide Protest Amid NEET Paper Leak Crisis
There's a big protest happening in India because of a problem with a very important exam called NEET.
Some people think the exam was leaked, and because of this, some students got very sad and even died.
The protesters want the government to do something about it, like punish the people who leaked the exam and give money to the families of the students who died.
The government says they will set up special courts to punish the people who leaked the exam, but they don't want to fire the health minister, who is in charge of the exam.
The protesters are not happy with this and are planning a big protest all over the country.
Some famous people, like Anna Hazare, are also supporting the protesters.
The government and the protesters are having a hard time talking to each other because they can't agree on where to meet.
The protesters want to meet in a place near the protest site, but the government wants to meet at the health minister's office or house.
The protesters are also mad at the police because they think the police are being too harsh with them.
The government needs to find a way to talk to the protesters directly, without the political parties getting in the way.
CJP announces nationwide protest on Friday over NEET paper leak and student suicides.
Opposition I.N.D.I.A. Alliance members express solidarity with protesters, demanding compensation for affected families.
PM Narendra Modi announces fast-track courts for swift punishment of paper leak culprits.
Government and protesters disagree on the location for talks, with protesters insisting on a neutral venue.
Protests spread across the country, with demonstrations in Delhi, Mumbai, Thiruvananthapuram, and Kolkata.
