Jamshedpur: Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader Shibu Soren convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment is relying upon his party’s Gandhi style protest and satyagraha to get out of jail.
JMM activists began a 72-hour satyagraha on Thursday to press the demand for release of ‘guru ji’ Soren who had been sentenced for being involved in the murder of his secretary Shashinath Jha.
JMM general secretary Bidyut Baran Mahato said when Gandhiji's satyagraha had forced the British to quit the country, the party was confident that its demand for Soren's release would be heard by authorities.
Alleging that multi-national companies and the CBI had hatched a conspiracy to implicate 'Guruji', as Soren is known to his followers, in a false case, Mahato said he had opposed the forcible acquisition of tribal land in Jharkhand for development projects till a proper rehabilitation policy
was framed.
Mahato also accused the JMM's political rivals of being involved in the conspiracy that led to Soren's conviction.
