Some young people whose parents are part of the BJP, India's ruling party, have been protesting against the government.

They are upset about leaks in exam papers and how the government has handled the situation.

This is different from other protests because these young people are usually part of the BJP's support base.

The BJP leaders have said that what their children say or do is not their responsibility.
