A very important and worrying news related to Jharkhand politics and Soren family is coming out. Basant Soren, younger brother of state Chief Minister Hemant Soren and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) MLA from Dumka assembly constituency, has been unwell for some time. In view of his critical health, he has been taken abroad to Singapore for better medical treatment, where he is undergoing treatment in a reputed private hospital. According to sources close to the family, there has been deep concern within the family regarding his health condition for the last few weeks and in view of this, Chief Minister Hemant Soren himself may soon leave for Singapore on a tour to inquire about the well being of his younger brother.
This period has been very sensitive and emotionally stressful for the Soren family. Some time ago, a mountain of sorrow fell upon the family when mother Rupi Soren passed away. Even during that time, due to Basant Soren being extremely unwell and admitted to the hospital in Singapore, he was not able to directly participate in the last rites of his mother like cremation and funeral pyre. The close bond between the two family members is well known, in such a situation, the distance created due to brother’s prolonged illness and treatment abroad has shaken Chief Minister Hemant Soren from within. After completing all the traditional and religious rituals and Dashkarma programs held in his native village Nemra, the Chief Minister has now decided to personally visit Singapore.
There is discussion in media reports and political circles that Chief Minister Hemant Soren may leave all his administrative and political busy schedules and visit Singapore on 20th or 21st October. However, no official bulletin or detailed program has been issued yet by the Chief Minister’s Office regarding this foreign trip, but speculations are being made that fulfilling the family responsibility and affection towards his brother, he will reach there soon. The main objective of this possible visit is to console the hospitalized Basant Soren by meeting him face to face and to understand the actual status of his health report by talking directly to the doctors there.
Meanwhile, many misleading and fabricated news started floating on social media regarding the health of Basant Soren, on which Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has expressed strong objection. The party’s central spokesperson and senior leaders have clearly refuted it and said that such baseless rumors should not be paid attention to. The party claims that the process of improvement in Basant Soren’s health is going on and he is completely safe under medical supervision. Despite this, being the head of the family and elder brother, Chief Minister Hemant Soren personally reaching the hospital to inquire about his condition is being considered a very natural and humane step.
As soon as the news of the Chief Minister’s possible visit to Singapore became public, the excitement in the political and administrative circles of Jharkhand has suddenly intensified. The eyes of the leaders of opposition parties and the general public of the state are also fixed on the health update of Basant Soren. Everyone is wishing for his complete recovery and return to his home state as soon as possible. This visit of the Chief Minister is being considered completely family and personal, yet the head of a state going abroad in this way to monitor the treatment of his MLA brother and become his support presents a strong example of family culture beyond political boundaries.
