(PTI image) Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Sunday assured the students, who are protesting over alleged exam irregularities in the state, of justice, saying it is the responsibility of the government to ensure they “receive what you are entitled to." Addressing the protesting students, Soren said they do not need “political patronage" and urged them to approach the government with their grievances without fear. “You do not need anyone’s political patronage. Ensuring that you receive what you are entitled to is the responsibility of the government, and I want to make sure that this is fully fulfilled.
Come to the government with your concerns openly and fearlessly. We will listen to you," the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader said. Soren Rejects Use Of Force Against Protesters The Jharkhand Chief Minister also criticised the use of force and legal action against young people and protesters during past demonstrations, alleging that those raising their voices are sometimes “threatened, intimidated and defamed." “You have seen how young people are threatened, intimidated, and defamed. When that does not work, lathis and batons are used, pellet guns are fired, and when even that does not work, sedition charges are imposed," he added. “Baba Saheb Dr. B. R. Ambedkar gave us the Constitution, which guarantees equal rights to everyone living in this country, whether rich or poor. And today, there are forces working with full strength to challenge that very democracy. But Jharkhand is not just Jharkhand; it is the land of freedom fighters," he remarked. Emphasising the importance of a sensitive approach while dealing with young people and students, Soren said his government will work to ensure that their concerns were heard and addressed fairly.
Soren Calls For Dialogue, Fair Resolution “Some of our young people, students, and girls and boys are protesting and staging a sit-in over some of their demands. The government is openly listening to their concerns. Through you, I want to give a clear message to all the young people and students, as I have always said: such a large system is being run, but our intention is to work with great sensitivity," he further said. The Chief Minister maintained that the government is willing to engage with the protesting students and resolve their grievances through dialogue. “I assure you that justice will be done to you with complete transparency and fairness. Every problem can be resolved through dialogue, not through lathis, sticks, or guns. Lathis, sticks, and guns are needed at the border to protect the country, not against its own people," the CM stated.
