ED questions Hemant Soren in mining lease case
Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren on November 17 appeared before Enforcement Directorate in Ranchi in connection with alleged mining lease case. ‘Baseless allegations’ Earlier, before leaving for the ED’s regional office, Mr. Soren addressed media persons and asserted that allegations made against him were “baseless”. In fact, I don’t think apart from businessmen, any of the political leaders have fled the country,” said Mr. Soren, flashing a copy of the letter he had sent to the ED in response to his summons in the alleged mining lease case. Earlier, the Jharkhand Governor had said that he had sought a “second opinion” over the Election Commission’s recommendation letter, allegedly to disqualify Mr Soren’s membership from the State Assembly in connection with an alleged stone mining scam.
