The Story in Brief
Mohammad Junaid Malik, a Ghaziabad volunteer who distributed free food to NEET protesters in Delhi, has now joined students demonstrating in Ranchi against alleged irregularities in state recruitment exams. The JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch protest, in its 14th day, demands cancellation of the 14th Jharkhand PSC Civil Services Examination and an independent probe by the CBI or retired high court judges from outside the state.
Six protesters are on an indefinite hunger strike, including JLKM leader Devendra Nath Mahto. Chief Minister Hemant Soren has offered dialogue, but protesters say no formal invitation was received. Malik, part of a team from Delhi, served breakfast and plans to serve veg biryani, stating they will stay until students get justice.
The Indian Opinion
One man's biryani cannot fix a broken exam system, but it exposes a deeper rot. The Jharkhand government keeps offering 'dialogue' while job aspirants starve for weeks. Why should students risk their health to demand simple fairness? If the government were serious, it would have named an independent probe by now. The real test is whether Hemant Soren will match words with a formal invite and a concrete timeline for reform.
