In a scathing attack on the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led state government, Babulal Marandi, the leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Jharkhand, posted a sharp critique on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). He accused the Hemant Soren government of betraying the people of Jharkhand and misleading the judiciary.

Marandi’s post, written in Hindi, alleges that the Soren government has been deceiving the state’s youth, women, farmers, and tribal communities for the past five years, and is now engaging in fraud with the Jharkhand High Court. The BJP leader claimed that while the government informed the court that only mobile internet and Wi-Fi services were partially shut down, it went ahead and cut broadband and other internet services the following day, violating the court’s trust.

“चोर की चोरी फिर एक बार पकड़ी गई…” Marandi’s post begins, hinting at the government’s repeated misconduct. He criticized the Soren administration for its refusal to admit to this blunder, despite clear evidence of the internet shutdown. According to Marandi, the government misled the court by citing vague “intelligence inputs” as the reason for the internet suspension, though no such input was mentioned in the affidavit submitted to the court.

The shutdown, which reportedly impacted both mobile and broadband services, drew public outcry as it disrupted daily life in several parts of the state. Marandi’s post further accuses the Hemant Soren government, in collaboration with its coalition partner Congress, of trampling on the fundamental rights of Jharkhand’s citizens, comparing the internet suspension to a “black chapter” reminiscent of the Emergency era.

“The Hemant government, along with Congress, is once again violating people’s fundamental rights and writing a dark chapter in the history of democracy by imposing an ‘internet emergency,'” Marandi wrote in his post.

The shutdown is seen by critics as part of a broader pattern of curbing dissent and controlling information flow in the state. The Hemant Soren government has been under fire from opposition leaders and civil society groups for allegedly clamping down on free speech and suppressing transparency.

While the state government has yet to formally respond to Marandi’s allegations, the internet restrictions have raised serious concerns about the handling of law and order situations in Jharkhand. Marandi’s remarks further deepen the ongoing political battle between the BJP and the JMM-Congress alliance, with both sides frequently trading accusations of undermining democracy and governance in the state.

This incident comes at a critical time as Jharkhand faces several socio-political challenges, with growing discontent over issues like unemployment, tribal rights, and rural distress. Marandi, a former Chief Minister of Jharkhand, has been vocal in his opposition to the JMM’s policies, positioning himself as a key challenger to the current administration.

The internet shutdown and its alleged misrepresentation in court proceedings will likely continue to dominate political discourse in Jharkhand in the days to come, with opposition parties gearing up to make it a significant election issue.

Jharkhand has seen a spate of internet restrictions in recent times, often imposed in the wake of protests or to prevent communal violence. However, the handling of these restrictions has been controversial, drawing criticism from both the public and the courts.

राम भक्तों के लिए

Ranchi, October 4, 2024 – Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has expressed his full support for the newly launched ‘Maiyaan Sammaan Yatra,’ led by state ministers Baby Devi and Dipika Pandey Singh. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Soren conveyed his best wishes for the yatra, emphasizing its importance in promoting women’s empowerment across the state.

Marking the beginning of the sacred Navratri festival, Soren highlighted the yatra as more than just a journey. He described it as a “movement” aimed at recognizing and celebrating the courage, struggles, and achievements of the women of Jharkhand. He stated, “On this auspicious occasion of Navratri, we commit to the upliftment of women power. This yatra will shed light on the stories of the bravery, resilience, and success of our state’s women.”

Empowerment at the Core

The ‘Maiyaan Sammaan Yatra’ seeks to reach every corner of Jharkhand, touching every village and district along the way. According to Soren, the initiative’s goal is to make every woman in the state self-reliant, educated, and empowered. He described the yatra as a vital step toward giving women the recognition and respect they deserve.

Soren further added, “This is not just a program but a movement – one that will unite the entire state. It will reach every district, every village, and aims to recognize the contribution of women to society while giving them the honor they rightfully deserve.”

Call for Collective Effort

The Chief Minister urged all citizens to actively participate in the yatra and its mission, emphasizing that the progress of Jharkhand is inherently tied to the progress of its women. “When the women of Jharkhand move forward, the entire state will achieve new milestones of development. Our state’s progress lies in the progress of our sisters,” Soren said.

The yatra comes at a crucial time as Jharkhand’s government seeks to bolster its initiatives aimed at women’s welfare, education, and entrepreneurship. With this yatra, the government hopes to create a broad social movement, encouraging women to break barriers and actively contribute to the state’s growth.

Soren’s post has garnered widespread attention, with many lauding the initiative and the state’s renewed focus on gender equality and empowerment.
