Soren said the government was committed to addressing the protesters’ concerns through dialogue and transparency. He stressed that force was not the answer to the students’ demands.
“Dialogue, not batons, can solve problems; weapons for enemies at border,” the chief minister said, promising justice to exam protesters through a transparent process, reported news agency PTI.
The comments came as the Jharkhand government has begun fresh talks with the protesting aspirants, who have been on agitation for the 16th consecutive day. However, a prominent student faction has described the government’s latest outreach as “political manoeuvring”.
