A Political Era Ends: Remembering Shibu Soren

The Jharkhand Assembly was adjourned sine die on Monday as a tribute to former Chief Minister Shibu Soren, who passed away earlier that day. The announcement was made by Assembly Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahto, marking a somber moment in the state's legislative history.

At 81, Shibu Soren, a stalwart in tribal and Indian politics, died at a private hospital in Delhi. His passing signifies the conclusion of a significant political era, tinged with dedication to the upliftment of the poor.

As the Assembly convened, legislators echoed chants of 'Shibu Soren Amar Rahe' (Long live Shibu Soren), reverberating their respect for his enduring impact. The five-day monsoon session that began on August 1 was thus brought to an emotional close.
