"That mark, which was placed on me when I was released from jail, is not just mine but a symbol of the current challenges of our democracy," Hemant Soren wrote.
On the occasion of his 49th birthday today, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren vowed to fight against all forms of injustice. In this post on X (formerly), he shared a photo of the prisoner's mark on his hand, which he received upon his release from jail, and described it as a symbol of the current challenges facing democracy.
In his post, Mr Soren wrote, “Today, on my birthday, the memory of the past year is etched in my mind. That mark, which was placed on me when I was released from jail, is not just mine but a symbol of the current challenges of our democracy.”
He further noted that if an elected Chief Minister can be imprisoned for 150 days without any evidence, complaint, or crime, it is evident what might happen to common tribals, Dalits, and the oppressed.
