How Hemant Soren has destroyed the social fabric of Jharkhand
FirstpostAs someone who has grown up in Jharkhand, I have seen Jharkhand’s diverse cultural ethos as the state’s greatest strength as well as its distinctive identity. All top BJP leaders in Jharkhand, including state president Deepak Prakash, have repeatedly raised the issue of illegal Bangladeshis in Santhal Parganas and their modus operandi. The big question here is: Is CM Hemant Soren hand in glove with the banned PFI and is aiding it recoup and gain fresh ground in Jharkhand particularly in the areas of Santhal Parganas? The Khatiyan Bill aims to fix land records of 1932 as the basis to determine the state’s domicile and employment policy to reserve class III & IV government jobs for the locals. The BJP believes that the new domicile law requires greater scrutiny and the hasty manner in which Soren had passed it in the Jharkhand Assembly and now wants it included in the 9th Schedule, is a diversionary tactic to escape censure over the gruelling unemployment problem in the state.
