Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has expressed support for the ongoing student-led movement against exam paper leaks, which is being spearheaded by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) in the capital, according to NDTV.
In an Instagram post shared on Wednesday, the 60-year-old actor praised the students participating in the peaceful demonstrations, calling them courageous and fearless. Alongside a blurry photograph from his school days, Salman described exam paper leaks as a serious issue that undermines both students and the education system.
“This is a matter between students and the education system. It should not be politically hijacked,” he wrote. “The entire credit belongs to the students of this country. I am confident that the government will fully support them and take steps to strengthen the education system. That will benefit everyone.”
He added that he hopes for a positive resolution and prayed for the well-being of all those striving for education. Concluding his post, Salman said he hopes India’s education system becomes so strong that it turns into a global attraction, drawing students from abroad to study in the country.
Before Salman’s statement, several prominent actors—including Omi Vaidya, Zeenat Aman, Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Abhay Deol, Sonakshi Sinha, and Riteish Deshmukh—had also publicly voiced support for the movement an
