Mumbai, August 5, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Actor Imran Khan has once again expressed support for students protesting over alleged examination irregularities, this time drawing attention to the ongoing agitation in Jharkhand.
The actor took to social media to share a black-screen post carrying a pointed message: “Students protesting in Jharkhand. Let’s all ignore them, what could possibly go wrong.” The remark appeared to be a sarcastic criticism of what he suggested was inadequate public attention to the students’ concerns.
Imran has previously spoken in support of student-led movements. Earlier, he participated in a protest in Mumbai organised in solidarity with students demanding greater transparency and fairness in examinations and the education system.
The Mumbai demonstration was linked to the larger protest movement that began at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, where students and activists raised concerns over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination and sought accountability from the authorities. The protests also included demands for the resignation of the then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who later stepped down from the post.
Meanwhile, protests in Jharkhand have intensified, with thousands of job aspirants gathering in Ranchi to demand a detailed Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into alleged irregularities, corruption and paper leaks linked to the 14th Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and JSSC Combined Graduate Level (JSSC-CGL) examinations.
Earlier this week, actress Sonakshi Sinha also voiced concern over the issue. Sharing a video explaining the protests on her Instagram Stories, she wrote, “It’s so disheartening to see students of our country go through this… when will it stop???”
