Exam Protesters Set to March to Jharkhand Assembly Even as Govt Says '98 Pc Demands Fulfilled'
The government says it has accepted 98% of demands, but students are still pressing for a CBI probe into alleged exam irregularities.
- On Monday, protesting students in Ranchi plan a "Vidhan Sabha March" after government talks failed to resolve their demand for a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into recruitment exam irregularities.
- The student-led protest entered its 16th day on Sunday with six demonstrators on indefinite hunger strike demanding accountability for alleged recruitment exam irregularities in Jharkhand.
- Although a government panel claimed to have accepted 98 per cent of demands, demonstrators alleged the JMM-led government was "spreading lies," noting it agreed to cancel only three of 13 competitive tests.
- Technical and Higher Education Minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu stated the government cannot authorize a CBI probe because the JSSC-CGL examination occurred under Supreme Court and Jharkhand High Court monitoring.
- Chief Minister Hemant Soren promised justice and urged students to solve issues through "dialogue," while student leaders remain firm that their agitation to remove the job-selling system is "peaceful and democratic.
