Sri Lankan activists and trade unionists express solidarity with Indian students protesting NEET paper leak
Nearly 200 Sri Lankan activists, social movements, civil society organizations, and trade unions issued a statement on July 27, 2026, expressing solidarity with Indian students protesting the NEET examination paper leak and broader education issues. The statement applauded the students for sustaining their struggle despite police brutality and called it a significant step toward education reforms in India. It cautioned Indian protesters to remain vigilant and maintain pressure on the government, drawing parallels with Sri Lankan youth opposing half-baked education reforms. The signatories accused the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of adopting fascist methods of governance. A small group of activists also gathered outside the Indian High Commission in Colombo, carrying placards with messages such as 'Modi, stop the witch hunt of student protesters' and 'The power of the people is always stronger than the people in power.'
