Supreme Court Hearing Scheduled for Friday
Former Jharkhand Chief Minister, Hemant Soren, has taken his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to the Supreme Court, challenging the legality of his detention. Advocates Kapil Sibal and Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing Soren, sought an urgent hearing on Thursday, leading to the withdrawal of the petition filed in the Jharkhand High Court. The Supreme Court has scheduled the hearing for Friday.
Arrest Raises Legal Concerns
Kapil Sibal, arguing on behalf of Hemant Soren, raised concerns about the arrest process, questioning the timing and discrepancies in the arrest memo. He emphasized that the arrest memo indicated 10 o’clock, while officials claimed the arrest occurred at 5 pm. Sibal deemed this a serious matter and expressed apprehension about opposition leaders facing arrests ahead of elections.
Video Statement Before Arrest
Before his arrest, Hemant Soren released a video refuting the accusations against him. He asserted that the ED accused him of a land scam unrelated to him, emphasizing that no evidence was found during raids in Delhi. Soren claimed that the decision to arrest him was strategically timed, taking advantage of the evening when courts are closed. Despite the allegations, he expressed fearlessness, citing his lineage as the son of Shibu Soren.
Political Conspiracy and State Victimhood
Hemant Soren portrayed the situation as part of a larger political conspiracy, comparing Jharkhand to Bihar, both allegedly victimized by the BJP. He asserted his determination to withstand the challenges and stated that the truth would prevail. Soren, invoking his father’s legacy, conveyed resilience, declaring that the people of Jharkhand would remember him.
Conclusion
As Hemant Soren escalates his legal battle to the Supreme Court, the case raises broader questions about the timing and legitimacy of political arrests. The unfolding legal proceedings will likely impact the political landscape in Jharkhand, adding to the ongoing narrative of political maneuvering and alleged conspiracies.
