'The demands are genuine': No headway in Jharkhand govt's talks with protesting students, stir to continue
Jharkhand govt held talks with student groups over JPSC, JSSC exam irregularities, but protesting aspirants said the stir will continue until demands are met.
The Jharkhand government has held multiple meetings with student protest groups over the past 15 days, following allegations of irregularities in recruitment exams conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). Despite the government's efforts to engage with student unions such as the JLKM, NSUI, Adivasis Chatra Sangh (ACS), and Jharkhand Chatra Manch (JCM), the protesters have stated that they will continue their agitation until all their demands are met.
The government's panel, comprising four cabinet ministers, has met various student groups, including factions led by JLKM leader Devendra Nath Mahto and representatives from Congress-backed NSUI and JMM-backed Jharkhand Chatra Manch (JCM). State labour minister Sanjay Prasad Yadav, a member of the government panel, confirmed that the protesters' demands are genuine, while officials suggest that a final decision on the demands may be made by the government in a meeting with the first delegation on Sunday.
