In a significant development, the Opposition INDIA bloc has decided to address the arrest of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Hemant Soren in both houses of Parliament. This decision was made during a meeting of INDIA bloc leaders held in the chamber of Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge in Parliament House.
The arrest of Hemant Soren, who had recently resigned as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand, has sparked controversy and raised questions about the circumstances leading to his resignation and subsequent detention by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
This meeting marks the first instance of opposition leaders convening to strategize during the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament, which commenced on January 31. The opposition leaders expressed concern over Soren’s arrest and the delay in forming a new government in the state.
Prominent leaders from various opposition parties, including Sonia Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, and TR Baalu, had previously gathered at Kharge’s residence on the day of Soren’s arrest, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
The opposition leaders have strongly criticized the manner in which Soren was compelled to step down as Chief Minister and have raised objections regarding the alleged interference in the state’s governance.
Hemant Soren’s arrest on Wednesday night, following his resignation from the post of Jharkhand Chief Minister, has intensified political tensions and drawn attention to the unfolding situation in the state.
As the opposition gears up to address these concerns in Parliament, the issue of Hemant Soren’s arrest is likely to become a focal point of discussion, highlighting broader issues of governance and democratic principles.
