He recalled how Soren freed Jharkhand from the atrocities of moneylenders, strengthened the tribal identity, and gave sharp direction to the separate state movement, leading to the formation of Jharkhand.
Former Public Prosecutor Advocate PN Gop noted that Soren guided the centuries-old dream of Jharkhand’s sons of the soil to reality. He added that his son, Hemant Soren, as Chief Minister, is working to fulfil his vision of ensuring water, forest, and land rights for the people.
