Suspension of internet for exam arbitrary decree to hide Jharkhand govt failure: BJP

The opposition BJP in Jharkhand has termed the state government order to suspend mobile internet services for five hours on Saturday and Sunday in view of a competitive exam as another “decree" to hide its "failed" system.

The suspension of mobile internet services began at 8 am and will continue till 1.30 pm on Saturday, and the prohibition will be repeated on Sunday, in a bid to check any malpractice during the Jharkhand General Graduate Level Combined Competitive Examination (JGGLCCE), an official notification said.

"When the Jharkhand government could not create a foolproof system to prevent malpractice in the examination, they shut down internet for 3.5 crore people in the entire state," BJP spokesperson Pratul Shadeo said.

“It is another arbitrary decree to hide the failed system of the dispensation,” he said.

Union Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth also criticised the move to suspend mobile internet services, asserting that it will cause a lot of inconvenience for people.
