Paper leak national crisis, says Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren
In Jharkhand, a state in India, many young people take big tests to get government jobs.
Some people believe the question papers for these tests were leaked before the exams, which would be unfair.
Angry students are protesting in the city of Ranchi, and five more joined a hunger strike, refusing to eat until their demands are heard.
The leader of Jharkhand, Chief Minister Hemant Soren, talked about the problem twice in one day.
He said paper leaks are not just a Jharkhand problem, because similar things have happened in other states too.
He called it a big national crisis for young people across the country.
Soren promised that police and other agencies are investigating day and night and that people who broke the rules are being sent to jail.
He said he might ask India's Union Home Minister for help, so that students get justice.
Soren also met Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar at Raj Bhavan to explain what is happening.
The Governor said exams must be fair and honest so that people can trust them.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren said alleged paper leaks in recruitment examinations are no longer confined to Jharkhand but have become a national crisis.
Soren commented for the second time within 24 hours on the student agitation in Ranchi over alleged irregularities in PSC and SSC examinations.
He said he may speak to the Union Home Minister, if required, to ensure justice for students, and that the state may raise the issue with the Centre.
Soren met Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar at Raj Bhavan and conveyed the entire sequence of events to him.
Five more demonstrators joined an indefinite hunger strike as protests intensified, while Soren said agencies are investigating day and night and culprits are being sent to jail.
