The Story in Brief
Students of the JPSC-JSSC Aspirant Nyay Manch in Jharkhand have vowed to continue their agitation despite a second round of talks with the state government on Friday. The eight-member delegation said the government had 'seriously considered' their demands, which include cancellation of examinations conducted by the TDPL agency, a CBI probe into the JSSC CGL exam, and Rs 1 crore compensation for aspirants who died during physical tests for the excise constable recruitment.
The JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch, another group leading the protest, accused the government of 'political manoeuvring' and trying to create a divide by inviting student organisations affiliated with the Congress and JMM for separate meetings. The government panel has held five rounds of discussions so far and will hold a sixth on Sunday before taking a final decision.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides in Jharkhand are spinning this as resolve or delay. The government talks of 'serious consideration' while the students call it 'political manoeuvring' and point to parallel meetings with ruling-party affiliates. The real test is simple: will the government cancel the TDPL-conducted exams and order a CBI probe, as demanded, or only offer more committees? Until that happens, the hunger strike and protests will rightly continue.
