Rahul Gandhi Backs Maharashtra Student Protests, Says MPSC Row Shows ‘Trust Has Been Shattered’
Rahul Gandhi said the protests reflect a wider loss of trust as students cite paper leaks, stalled recruitments and poor hostel conditions.
- On Sunday, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi backed students protesting in Maharashtra, stating their trust in the system had been "shattered" and warning the "Chhatron ki Goonj" will grow louder until justice is served.
- Gandhi emphasized that protests extend beyond a single examination, reflecting widespread anger over paper leaks, stalled recruitment, high education costs, and alleged fraud in DBT schemes affecting students.
- The investigation into the MPSC Drug Inspector examination led to arrests by Mumbai Police Crime Branch officials; six people were arrested, including accused Rutuja Patil taken into custody on Tuesday.
- Following sustained pressure, the State administration constituted a high-level commission to review the recruitment examination system and implement measures to enhance transparency, security, and candidate-friendliness.
- Gandhi further alleged that seizing control of constitutional bodies like the MPSC has destroyed institutional credibility, signaling that student unrest may intensify if authorities fail to address systemic concerns.
