Following a 24-day agitation, the Jharkhand government cancelled the JSSC-CGL exam and ordered a CID probe into recruitment irregularities since 2014. However, protesting students have refused to call off their demonstration, demanding an independent investigation by the CBI.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has urged Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren to meet students protesting over JPSC and JSSC recruitment exam irregularities. The intervention follows heavy police deployment, action against journalists, and the deteriorating health of hunger-striking leader Devendra Nath Mahato.
Devendra Nath Mahto, who has been on a hunger strike since 2nd August, was stopped by the police from participating in the Tiranga Yatra at the Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium.
"Ministry of Education condemns the statement and reiterates that any such attempt to malign the image of the premier institution will face legal repercussions," the Ministry of Education said on X.
