NEET-UG protests: Listen to Gen Z, don’t repress them, says Supreme Court

The Supreme Court, through Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, advised the government to adopt a conciliatory approach, emphasizing reasoning, counselling, and restraint by law enforcement when dealing with NEET-UG paper leak protests, rather than an aggressive stance. The court highlighted the importance of handling youth protests carefully to prevent escalation, even if some individuals resort to violence, and stressed that law enforcement agencies should exercise restraint in a democratic movement.
