Arvind Kejriwal extends support to Jharkhand students’ protest
I support the demands of the protesting students in Jharkhand and appeal to the government to resolve their issues immediately; violence against students is simply unacceptable, said Arvind Kejriwal
Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal voiced support for protesting students in Jharkhand on August 11, 2026. He urged the government to swiftly address their demands. Kejriwal condemned any violence towards the students, emphasizing the inappropriateness of such actions. The students have been protesting since July 25, 2026, with their main grievances being reforms in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC), as well as the cancellation of certain appointments.
The protests intensified on Monday, August 10, when police deployed water cannons, tear gas, and batons to halt a march towards the Jharkhand Assembly.
