The Story in Brief
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Friday offered talks with students protesting against alleged irregularities in recruitment exams, announcing major reforms. The protests, led by thousands, include a hunger striker who said, 'They are snatching our rights and selling our jobs like vegetables.' Congress leader Rahul Gandhi backed the agitators, saying every government must listen to students. His 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' programme in Prayagraj received police permission. Mathrubhumi reports that the stir has intensified over exam paper leak allegations.
The Indian Opinion
The Jharkhand student protests tap into a real anger over recruitment irregularities, yet both ruling and opposition parties are quick to milk the moment. The narrative that jobs are 'sold like vegetables' is powerful, but the real test is whether the CM's offer of talks leads to a transparent re-examination or an independent inquiry, not just political theatre.
