Students in Jharkhand protested irregularities in recruitment exams on Saturday, marking India's 80th Independence Day with a Tiranga Yatra. The 22nd day of the agitation saw thousands of job aspirants and civilians carrying the national flag and chanting patriotic slogans like "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" and "Vande Mataram." Protesters demanded transparency in exams, cancellation of tests, and an independent investigation by the CBI or retired judges from outside the state into reported irregularities.
Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha leader Devendra Mahta, on a 14-day fast, alleged police prevented him from joining the march, claiming he was physically assaulted by officers. The protest, organized by the JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch, urged the youth to fight for their rights, emphasizing that true democracy thrives on equality, fairness, and free expression.
