Ranchi, June 28 (HS). BJP state spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo on Friday retaliated to the press conference of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and said that Hemant Soren has only been granted bail by a single bench of the High Court but Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is celebrating in such a way as if he has been acquitted of all the charges.
Pratul said that bail is a part of the court process and there is no need to boast so much about it. The single bench of the High Court has certainly granted bail to Hemant Soren but the trial of the entire case is still pending. Therefore, JMM is already contempting the court by considering Hemant Soren innocent.
Pratul Shah Dev said that the double bench of the High Court had prima facie found the allegations against Hemant Soren in the land scam to be correct. When Hemant Soren challenged his arrest in the High Court, in case number WP (CR) 68/2024, on May 3, the bench of Acting Chief Justice and Justice Navneet Kumar in its judgment prima facie found the allegations against Hemant Soren to be correct.
The double bench of the High Court had also justified the initial action of the ED. On the allegations of harassment by Hemant Soren due to him being a tribal, the High Court had said that this seems to be the last attempt of a losing client to escape. The High Court had also considered Hemant Soren's argument of keeping the money for the treatment of his parents in his reply regarding the Rs 36 lakh recovered from his Delhi residence as untenable.
Pratul said that the High Court had rejected the petition challenging the arrest of Hemant Soren. He said that as per the politics of convenience, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is only showing the judgment of the single judge of the High Court given on the limited issue of bail but is ignoring the comments of the double bench. Pratul said that truth always wins and those who have committed corruption cannot be spared in Modi's New India.
Pratul Shah Dev said that many serious allegations have been made against the Hemant Soren government like Ranchi land scam, Sahibganj stone mining scam, illegal mining scam, transfer posting scam, question paper leak scam etc. During the tenure of this government, there have been allegations of scams worth Rs 70,000 crore. Institutions like Lokayukta and Information Commission, established for corruption and transparency, have been crippled. It is clearly visible that this government does not want to let corruption cases come to light.
