The Story in Brief
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad said on Thursday it will continue nationwide protests over alleged paper leaks, examination irregularities and recruitment problems. The RSS-affiliated student organisation said it has raised these issues in Punjab, Jharkhand, Karnataka and Bihar, seeking reforms and greater accountability from examination agencies.
The Times of India reports that ABVP alleged police used lathis and water cannons against protesters during an Assembly gherao in Punjab, causing injuries including fractures and ruptured eardrums. It has sought a CBI inquiry into a Karnataka Public Service Commission controversy, a time-bound probe into an alleged Patna University law entrance paper leak, and action over alleged irregularities in Jharkhand examinations. It is also pursuing scholarship dues, fee hikes and a proposed Madhya Pradesh higher education law.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narratives are that every exam complaint is political theatre, or that every protest proves a government cover-up. Neither follows from allegations alone. Claims of police injuries, leaks and recruitment failures need independent inquiries, documentary evidence and timely findings, while student groups should keep protests peaceful. The useful test is simple: which cases produce verified reports, prosecutions or corrective reforms, and by when?
