Ranchi: The Jharkhand Janadhikar Mahasabha has strongly condemned the alleged ink attack on Neha Bora, national president of AISA and an activist associated with the Jantar Mantar movement, during a march to the Jharkhand Assembly on August 7.
According to the Mahasabha, an individual allegedly associated with the RSS threw ink at Bora during the march and raised the slogan “Jai Shri Ram”. The organisation termed the incident an attempt to create divisions among students and youth and to divert the ongoing JPSC movement from its core demands.
The Mahasabha said it has supported the JPSC movement being held at Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium from the beginning, with several of its members participating in the agitation. It said that issues raised in connection with the 14th JPSC examination had pointed to serious allegations of irregularities, adding that concerns over recruitment processes had created widespread anxiety among students and job aspirants in Jharkhand.
The organisation alleged that the BJP-RSS and sections of the media associated with them were attempting to give a political direction to the student movement. It said efforts to portray the Jantar Mantar movement and the JPSC agitation in Jharkhand as being opposed to each other could weaken student and youth unity.
The Mahasabha maintained that student and youth movements, whether at the national level or in Jharkhand, should stand in solidarity with one another rather than being placed in competition. It appealed to students and youth participating in the JPSC agitation to remain alert against divisive political narratives and to maintain unity.
The organisation also urged the state government to hold an immediate and sincere dialogue with the protesting students and take positive and timely action on their demands. It expressed hope that the JPSC movement would develop into a broader public movement and lead to substantial reforms in the state's education and recruitment system.
The statement was endorsed by several members of the Mahasabha, including Ajay Ekka, Aloka Kujur, Aman Marandi, Afzal Anis, Ambika Yadav, Ambita Kisku, Ajit Kandeyang, Ajay Oraon, Apoorva, Arunanshu Banerjee, Ashok Verma, Ashok Pal, Bharat Bhushan Choudhary, Basing Hassa, Binsay Munda, Birsingh Mahto, Charles Murmu, Chandev Hembram, Dinesh Murmu, Elina Horo, George Monipally, Helen Sundi, James Hereng, Jayanti Melgandi, Jean Dreze, Jyoti Behan, Jyoti Kujur, Kumar Chandra Mardi, Lilawati Devi, Manthan, Manoj Bhuiyan, Mary Hansda, Margaret Minz, Munni Devi, Meena Murmu, Naresh Paharia, Nandita Bhattacharya, Pachati Singh, Praveer Peter, P.M.
