Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has written to Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, urging him to personally meet with protesting students. The letter, dated August 14 and released on Monday, emphasizes that the students' demands are legitimate and that addressing these issues will demonstrate the Jharkhand government's commitment to resolving the crisis.
The ongoing protest is now in its 24th day, with the state government set to hold its fourth round of dialogue with a student delegation on Monday. The Jharkhand Police's Crime Investigation Department is investigating the alleged irregularities in recruitment exams, leading to the arrest of 20 individuals, including the former JPSC chairman L Khiangte.
Gandhi appreciated the Jharkhand government's efforts in dialogue with the protesters and noted that an agreement has been reached on several demands. He appealed for solidarity and support for the students' cause, stating that the youth of India is its future and that the government owes them its support during this crisis.
