Remembering Shibu Soren: A Legendary Leader and Tribal Champion

On Tuesday, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav honored the late Shibu Soren, former Jharkhand Chief Minister and influential Jharkhand Mukti Morcha co-founder, reminiscing about his lifelong fight for tribal rights and the impoverished. Soren's demise in Delhi at age 8 marks a significant loss for the nation, Yadav remarked in Patna.

Yadav expressed sorrow over Soren's passing and announced his departure for Ranchi. He reflected on Soren's indelible contributions to those marginalized and acknowledged the personal and political affiliation between their families, predicting the void left by Soren would resonate deeply across India.

In Jharkhand, Chief Minister Hemant Soren shared a poignant tribute to his father on X. He described his father not just as a paternal figure but as a foundational force in Jharkhand's identity, commemorating him as a beacon of hope and justice who rose from poverty to influence countless tribes and shape state history.
