Amid ongoing protests over irregularities in Jharkhand’s recruitment examinations, student leader Ravindra Paswan accused the State government of attempting to fragment the movement and warned of a massive ‘Vidhan Sabha Gherao’ march on August 10 if demands were not met.

“What we have witnessed from the government’s side today has left us very upset. Look at the game the government is playing: today, they accepted memoranda from about 6-7 other organisations. Why are they doing this? What is their intention?” he said.

Questioning the State government’s decision to receive a memorandum from the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), the Congress’ student wing, Mr. Paswan added, “Why are they taking memoranda from NSUI? NSUI is the Congress student wing. What kind of demands would they make? Why are they not on the street protesting against the government?”

“The government is playing games, trying to fragment this movement into 2-3 different factions,” he alleged.- ANI
