As JMM lawmaker Sarfaraz Ahmed resigns, BJP leader takes a swipe at Hemant Soren
Hindustan TimesRANCHI: Jharkhand’s ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha legislator Sarfaraz Ahmed has resigned from the state assembly, people familiar with the development said on Monday. He refused to appear on all the six previous occasions Jharkhand assembly speaker Rabindranath Mahto said Sarfaraz Ahmed met him on December 31 and submitted his resignation. In a post on X, Bharatiya Janata Party Lok Sabha MP Nishikant Dubey took a swipe at chief minister Hemant Soren. A JMM leader said he was not aware of the reasons behind Ahmed’s resignation and wondered if it could be linked to Hemant Soren’s troubles with the Enforcement Directorate, which last week issued a seventh summons to Soren for questioning him in connection with an ongoing money laundering probe related to an alleged land scam.
