NEW DELHI: Jharkhand chief minister Champai Soren accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of persecuting leaders who advocate for marginalized communities, amid the release of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Hemant Soren from jail.
Champai Soren said that Hemant Soren, who often speaks on behalf of the poor, Dalits, and Adivasis, was jailed due to opposition from those who have exploited Jharkhand for years.“The govt that was formed (in the state), it was a mandate for Hemant Babu in 2019 under his leadership. He talked about the poor, Dalit and Adivasis, and hence, those who have looted Jharkhand for years, they are the reasons why Hemant Babu was sent to jail,” said Champai Soren.
He further alleged that “People who speak about Dalits or Adivasis here will never be allowed to live in peace by those people (BJP).”
He extended his gratitude to the people of Jharkhand, saying, “You (the people of Odisha) have always given your support, and you have also supported us enthusiastically in this election. Therefore, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to all of you. That’s why today Hemant Babu has come among you, and we will continue to work for Jharkhand in the future.”
Former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren, who was recently released from Birsa Munda Jail following a bail order from the Jharkhand High Court, thanked the people of Jharkhand for their unwavering support. He vowed to continue working for the state’s progress.
Speaking about the broader political climate, Hemant Soren remarked, “Today, the situation that has been in the country, we have taken the resolution to uproot the ‘Manuvaadis’ & Saamantvaadis’ from the country. By any means, they aren’t leaving any leader of Mahagathbandhan, be it Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal or Hemant Soren, whoever opposes them, they are putting them in jail in any fake or arbitrary case…”
After spending five months in jail, Hemant Soren expressed solidarity with the struggles faced by Adivasis, farmers, and minorities. “Jharkhand is a land of brave people who will not be intimidated. Despite the challenges, we will continue to strive for a future that respects our culture and civilization,” he said.
Hemant Soren condemned the expansion of ‘Manuvaadi’ ideas, vowing that future generations would resist and overcome these ideologies through strength and resilience and said, “‘Manuvaadi’ ideas (philosophy of occupational segregation described in Manusmriti), even today are getting successes in its expansion. But, we haven’t accepted our defeat and moving ahead. Whatever we have achieved has been achieved through struggle and our future generations will come forward with the strength to end this struggle. For future generations, things should progress as per their wish, culture and civilization, and we will work towards this.”
