Making another mature move Chief Minister Hemant Soren has taken back a case lodged under Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against former CM Raghubar Das at Mihijam Police Station in Jamtara district. In this regard, Soren has written a letter to Superintendent of Police Jamtara informing him not to take any further necessary action on this case.
The CM said, “In my heart there is no malice or vendetta against former Chief Minister Raghubar Das. We want to give direction to Jharkhand with absolutely positive thinking.
I was saddened by the caste remarks by him in the election meeting during the Assembly elections 2019 and lodged a complaint against him in the ST-SC police station. But, now the election is over and I do not want this matter to be taken forward.
Now, there is no meaning of mutual differences. We have to do all round development of this State.
We are going to walk with positive thinking. Now, the time has come to move the State in the right direction,” he added.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren has written in a letter to Superintendent of Police Jamtara that the then Chief Minister Raghubar Das had used abusive words against him in the election meeting by taking caste-bearing surnames against him, which made me sad.
“I had filed a case in Mihijam police station but after due consideration I withdrew the said case. Therefore, no further action in the Mihizam Police Station case no 110/19, dated 25-12-2019, Section-504/506/404, IMU & 3 (r) (s) of SC / ST Atrocities Act 1989 (Amendment 2015) is needed,” he said.
Notably, a complaint was lodged by Soren at the ST-SC police station in Mihijam on the objectionable remarks made by former Chief Minister Raghubar Das while addressing the election meeting during the Assembly elections 2019.
In his complaint, he had accused Das of using casteist words for him. Addressing an election meeting, Das had made objectionable remarks on the Chief Minister, stated an IPRD press communiqué.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Hemant Soren has urged External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to help Indian people stuck in Iran so that their return to the homeland can be ensured.
The Chief Minister came to know through a tweet that about 500 Indians are trapped in a jazeera of Iran. One of them has sent a video of his acquaintance living in Jharkhand.
All are frightened by the coronavirus and want to return to their homeland.
