He said that due to illegal intruders, the population of tribals in the State has decreased by 10 per cent. Apart from this, he has filed a case in the Jharkhand High Court against the Speaker's decision to terminate his assembly membership. He has appealed to restore his assembly membership.
Hembram said that democracy has been murdered in Jharkhand. The people of the party have forcibly terminated my membership through the Speaker. He said, it is sad that along with him, Chamra Linda also contested the election as an independent, but no action was taken against him. Expressing his grief over this, he said that for the same crime, one person was hanged and nothing was done to the other.
