Jharkhand minister hits out at BJP

Jharkhand minister Irfan Ansari hit back at BJP's call for shutdown, calling it an attempt to "hijack" the peaceful protest being carried out by students. Ansari said while the Hemant Soren government is supporting peaceful protests, the BJP sent "troublemakers to crush the movement".

The Jharkhand minister accused the BJP of using "children as a shield" in its agenda against the government. "Who are you to interfere in the students' movement? Who called you? Today you called for a bandh. Why? Who are you to declare a shutdown? The entire market is open. They put up bamboo barricades, and we are removing them."

Protesters have been demanding cancellation of the JSSC-Combined Graduate Level (CGL) examination, a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into alleged irregularities and reforms in the recruitment process.
