The Story in Brief
Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level meeting at his Parliament office on Thursday, attended by Union ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, S Jaishankar, Nirmala Sitharaman, J P Nadda, Piyush Goyal, Hardeep Singh Puri, Sarbananda Sonowal, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, and Principal Secretary P K Mishra. No official agenda was released.
Earlier, the Rajya Sabha took up the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, introduced by Minister of State Jitendra Singh. The Bill, already passed by the Lok Sabha, tightens anti-paper leak laws, creates a Special Task Force for investigation, and sets up fast-track courts. The House is also expected to debate the Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill.
The Indian Opinion
The meeting's secrecy, no official agenda, will feed talk of a cabinet reshuffle or election strategy. But the simultaneous push of the anti-paper leak bill suggests the government is serious about exam integrity, a bread-and-butter issue for students. The real test is whether the Special Task Force and fast-track courts get teeth and funds, or remain paper tigers.
