'This is the right way': Rahul Gandhi hails 'understanding' between Jharkhand govt., protesters

The Congress leader also vowed to change the system across the country to establish a framework that propels students forward rather than holds them back

'This is the right way': Rahul Gandhi hails 'understanding' between Jharkhand govt., protesters

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi praised the "understanding" between protesting students and the Jharkhand government, calling it the "right way" as Chief Minister Hemant Soren opted for dialogue while the students maintained restraint and accepted their demands. Gandhi vowed to transform the system to propel students forward instead of holding them back.

He wrote to Soren urging him to meet the students and resolve the issue, which the Congress is part of in the ruling JMM-led government. Protesters ended their hunger strike after the state government cancelled all recruitment tests conducted by an outsourced agency since 2014, including the JSSC-CGL exam, following a marathon Cabinet meeting chaired by Soren.
