Sanjay Seth asks Rahul Gandhi to visit Ranchi, meet injured students
Union Minister Sanjay Seth calls the Congress leader an “opportunist”, alleges silence over injuries to students in Jharkhand and demands a CBI probe into recruitment examinations
Jharkhand BJP leader Sanjay Seth urged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to visit Ranchi and meet injured students affected by alleged attacks by Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) workers during protests in various districts, including Ranchi, Hazaribagh, Giridih, and Garhwa, on August 21. Seth condemned the government's handling of the situation, demanding a CBI probe into all recruitment examinations conducted in Jharkhand over the last six years, as well as an investigation into the treatment of injured students by hospital directors and civil surgeons who allegedly left them without treatment.
Seth accused the Soren government of betraying students by adopting a "divide and rule" policy when the movement gained support and withdrew support when the issue gained attention. He also alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who was aware of the students' plight, had not visited Jharkhand to stand in solidarity with the protesting students, instead focusing on political gains.
Seth accused the government of extorting over ₹1,000 crore by selling jobs, asserting that only the CBI could conduct a thorough investigation into the matter, as local youth lacked faith in the CID probe. Opposition leader Babulal Marandi demanded the identification, prosecution, and immediate arrest of all culprits involved in the suppression of students' voices using lathi charges.
