LIVE: Jharkhand BJP Calls for Statewide Bandh Over Police Action During Students Protest March
The Jharkhand BJP has called for a statewide bandh on August 11, protesting police action against job aspirants during their march towards the Jharkhand Assembly on Monday. BJP state president Aditya Sahu accused the Hemant Soren government of using excessive force, alleging that hundreds of students were injured in the lathicharge. The protest, now in its 17th day, saw police use water cannons, tear gas and lathicharge after protesters breached multiple barricades. JLKM leader Devendra Nath Mahto, who had been on a nine-day hunger strike and lost 10.5 kg, joined the march in an ambulance before being admitted to a Ranchi hospital after his health deteriorated. Protesters continue to demand cancellation of the JSSC-CGL exam, an independent probe and wider JPSC-JSSC reforms.
