Rhiya Ahir Welcomes PM Modi's Paper Leak Remarks

Rhiya Ahir, a model and actor, became a prominent figure in the student protests in Mumbai after a video of her standing in front of a police van went viral.

She welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement of stricter actions against those involved in paper leaks and the establishment of Fast-Track Courts.

However, she stressed that announcements alone are not enough and urged students to continue protesting peacefully until concrete actions are taken.

Ahir also cautioned against taking extreme steps and emphasized the importance of maintaining peace during protests.

She rejected suggestions that her actions were politically motivated or intended to gain attention, urging political parties not to use her images for campaigning.

The movement, she said, extends beyond any one individual, and she encouraged citizens to continue using democratic means to press for accountability.
