The Story in Brief
Jharkhand student protesters plan a march to the Vidhan Sabha on Monday, rejecting the government's claim that 98% of their demands have been met. Students say only 3 of 13 examinations they sought to cancel have been scrapped.
Three members of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission resigned on Sunday after the CID summoned them over alleged irregularities. The government has agreed to cancel the JPSC 14th preliminary exam and backlog exams, but protesters demand a CBI probe into the JSSC Combined Graduate Level exam. The government says it cannot cancel the CGL exam as it was conducted under court orders.
The Indian Opinion
The government's claim of meeting 98% of demands clashes with students saying only a fraction of exams were cancelled. Both sides spin the numbers. A fair test will be the Vidhan Sabha march: if it remains peaceful and large, it signals genuine grievance. If violence erupts, the government's law-and-order argument gains ground. The judicial inquiry's terms of reference and timeline will be the real measure of accountability.
