Soren Administration Accused of Violence and Neglect in Jharkhand

Pratul Shahdev, speaking to reporters, accused the Hemant Soren government of resorting to intimidation and violence against protesting students. He asked two pressing questions: why the negotiation sequence was broken and why force was used, and why the chief minister was missing from the latest discussion. Shahdev argued that the lack of confidence in ministers stems from their derogatory comments toward the youth. He called for the immediate withdrawal of the TDP L exam schedule, noting that the board's top officials have been taken into custody, and urged the state to adopt a calm, non‑threatening approach.
