The Story in Brief
Jharkhand students and job aspirants are set to march to the state Assembly on Friday as protests over alleged irregularities in JPSC and JSSC recruitment exams enter their 14th day, Times Now News reports. The march is scheduled for 11 am. Protesters want the allegedly tainted exams cancelled and a judicial inquiry ordered.
At the protest site in Ranchi, six people were reported to be on hunger strike on Thursday, while an 11-member delegation was formed for talks with the government, Telangana Today reports. Chief Minister Hemant Soren had offered talks, but student leaders said no official invitation had arrived by late evening. Opposition MLAs also protested inside the Assembly premises.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy narrative that this is either a purely political stunt or proof that every recruitment exam is corrupt misses the evidence gap. Students have made specific demands, but allegations still need an independent, credible inquiry rather than slogans from either camp. The government’s handling will be judged first by whether it formally meets the delegation, then by the findings on the disputed examinations.
