· India · Times of India, NDTV, Hindustan Times
Rahul Gandhi sent a letter dated 14 August to Chief Minister Hemant Soren backing students protesting alleged irregularities in Jharkhand’s state recruitment examinations. The letter describes the protest as peaceful and the students’ demands as legitimate. Rahul urged Soren to meet student representatives and address their concerns, noting that some students remain on an indefinite hunger strike. He stated that the Congress party supports the constitutional right to protest and criticised the education system as being captured by the RSS and BJP. The letter seeks rapid resolution of the students’ grievances and additional support from the government.
Why it matters
The protests threaten to delay Jharkhand’s recruitment processes and could compel the state government to overhaul exam procedures, directly affecting job aspirants and the administration’s credibility.
