Hemant Soren was arrested for refusing to leave INDIA bloc, says Congress chief at Opposition rally

The Hindu  

Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was arrested for refusing to leave the INDIA bloc, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge alleged at a joint Opposition rally in Ranchi on Sunday, warning Prime Minister Narendra Modi that if he tried to “terrorise” tribals, he himself would be destroyed. In a show of Opposition unity and strength, the leaders of the 28 parties who constitute the INDIA bloc shared the stage at the Ulgulan Nyay Maharally in Ranchi, taking it in turns to lash out at Mr. Modi and the ruling BJP for allegedly putting two CMs in jail — Mr. Soren and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. Ulgulan, meaning revolution Congress leader Rahul Gandhi skipped the rally due to ill health, but senior leaders present included Mr. Kharge; Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha chief Shibu Soren and Jharkhand CM Champai Soren, Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, Trinamool Congress leader Vivek Gupta, National Conference president Farooq Abdullah, and Communist Party of India general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya. Ms. Kalpana Soren read out her jailed husband’s letter to the crowd, in which Mr. Hemant Soren said it was the first time after Independence that so many Opposition leaders were being put in jail.
