He termed their efforts to bring out the truth as a victory for the youth and a defeat for the government.
Rahul Gandhi said in video post on X
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi shared a video post in this regard on Sunday (June 7, 2026) on social media platform X. In the post, Rahul Gandhi wrote, ‘Sarthak is 18 years old – but no less than anyone in thinking, courage and principles. He and his partner Nisarg did what the country’s big media houses and investigative journalists could not do – exposed the collusion between CBSE and COEMPT in front of the country.

PM Modi also targeted
During this, he targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said, ‘Modi ji wants our youth to keep making reels, keep frying pakodas, not ask questions, not open their eyes. But these children also asked questions and found answers. The country’s 18-year-old child proved to be better than the CBI – this victory of the youth is truly a defeat for the government.
He further said, ‘This is the real youth power of India – curious, aware, knowledgeable and remember, the future of the country will not come under any influence.’
Sarthak Siddhant had given a presentation in front of the parliamentary committee
Parliament’s Standing Committee on Education, Women, Children, Youth and Sports on Monday (June 1, 2026) witnessed the presentation of 18-year-old student Sarthak Siddhant in which he examined the problems and issues faced by students due to the OSM system during Class 12 examinations.
Responding to the questions raised, CBSE officials assured that the issues related to the re-evaluation portal have been resolved and students have enough time to apply through the portal.
