Jharkhand students to march to Assembly as talks fail on CBI probe
Jharkhand students will march to the Assembly in Ranchi on Monday after the state government rejected their demand for a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) examination.…
The Story in Brief
Jharkhand students will march to the Assembly in Ranchi on Monday after the state government rejected their demand for a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) examination. The government offered a judicial inquiry instead but agreed to cancel three other recruitment exams, the 14th JPSC Civil Services Examination, JPSC Backlog 2023 and JPSC Backlog 2025.
Ranchi police said they are prepared for the protest and will take action only if violence breaks out. A viral video showing a pellet gun was clarified as a paintball gun used to mark troublemakers. Student leader Kunal said the march will be peaceful but the demand for a CBI inquiry is non-negotiable.
The Indian Opinion
The government agreed to cancel three exams but dug in on a CBI probe into the CGL examination, offering a judicial inquiry instead. Student leaders insist a CBI inquiry is non-negotiable, even after the administration accepted some demands. Both sides are painting themselves as the reasonable party. The real test will be Monday: can thousands of protesters march peacefully, and will the police's paintball guns stay in their holsters?
