Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Sunday assured protesting students that the government was committed to delivering justice and that those found guilty of examination irregularities would face strict action.
Soren urged students not to seek political patronage for their agitation and warned against attempts to politicise the ongoing protest. He also alleged that political parties were trying to mislead young people by spreading lies and misinformation. “Justice is your right, government is committed to delivering it,” Soren said, according to PTI.

His remarks came as a seven-member delegation of the JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch held talks with the state government’s committee on Sunday. The meeting concluded after around an hour.
The JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch, however, accused the state government of “political manoeuvring”, alleging that its decision to hold another round of talks with student organisations was aimed at creating divisions among protesters and diverting attention from their core demands.
The student body has been protesting over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations in the state.
