JPSC Protesters Allege Bid to Hospitalise Devendra Mahto
A group of people is protesting and they are not happy with the government.
Their leader, Devendra Mahto, is on a strike.
The protesters say the government is trying to send Mahto to a hospital to make the strike end.
They say the same kind of thing happened to a man named Sonam Wangchuk.
The government invited the protesters to a talk at noon.
But a protester named Nayak said the government tried to coax them like little children.
He said the government gave them toffees and biscuits instead of fixing the real problems.
The protesters want the Chief Minister to talk to them directly.
They want him to take strict action.
Nayak said the protest will only get bigger as long as Mahto keeps striking.
JPSC protesters allege the government is trying to hospitalise striking leader Devendra Mahto, similar to the case of Sonam Wangchuk.
Protest spokesperson Nayak said the government had called the protesters for talks at 12 noon.
Nayak accused the government of coaxing protesters like children with toffees and biscuits instead of addressing their core demands.
Protesters demand that the Chief Minister talk to them directly and take strict action.
Nayak said the protest would only grow stronger as long as Mahto continues his strike.
