Govt Holds Talks With Student Groups

The Jharkhand government on Saturday held talks with various student organisations amid the ongoing agitation over alleged paper leaks in recruitment examinations. However, the meetings failed to break the deadlock, with protesting aspirants deciding to continue their stir until all their demands are met.

A five-member government panel comprising state ministers first met a faction of protesters led by JLKM leader Devendra Nath Mahto, whose hunger strike over the issue entered its seventh day.

The panel later held separate meetings with delegations from the Congress-backed National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), Adivasi Chatra Sangh (ACS) and Jharkhand Chhatra Morcha (JCM).

The government had held similar talks on Friday night with a delegation of the JPSC/JSSC Reforms Manch.

“Demands of protesting aspirants are genuine; we will place these before Chief Minister Hemant Soren,” state minister Sanjay Prasad Yadav, a member of the government panel, said after the back-to-back meetings.

Cancellation Of JPSC Exam Among Key Demands

The ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha’s student wing, Jharkhand Chhatra Morcha, placed five demands before the government panel, including cancellation of the 14th Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) Civil Services Examination.

The NSUI put forward six demands, including a CID probe into all JPSC and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) examinations under suspicion within 90 days and the establishment of a Jharkhand Testing Agency (JTA) on the lines of the National Testing Agency (NTA), its spokesperson Sanjiv Shah said.

Adivasi Chatra Sangh leader Kartik Oraon said the organisation had demanded that tribal and regional languages be included as qualifying papers in recruitment examinations.

It also sought cancellation of examinations in which irregularities had been detected.

Protesters Refuse To Call Off Stir

The government panel’s first meeting was with Mahto’s faction, the JPSC-JSSC Candidates’ Forum, and lasted around two hours.

“The government assured us of a quick decision to resolve the issues raised by us. However, our protests will continue until all our demands, including cancellation of the 14th JPSC exam, are met,” a forum leader said.
