Ranchi, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday told Shibu Soren to the tribal icon Birsa Munda, saying that the former Jharkhand CM dedicated his life to raise the poor.
Singh, Governor Santosh Gangwar, Telangana CM Revant Reddy, Union Minister Sanjay Seth, MP Pappu Yadav, former Union Minister Ashwini Kumar Chaubi and Yoga Guru Ramdev Nemra were about 70 km away from Nemra, among the hosts of people visiting Nemra, who were about 70 kilometers from ‘Maladali’.
“As far as I know him, he was of a simple nature. If any warrior was born in a tribal community after Birsa Munda, this ‘dishes guru’ was Shibu Soren. His loss is irreparable. He was very simple. He dedicated his life to the poor. I came to pay tribute to the center and my party.”
Shibu Soren’s son and Chief Minister Hemant Soren was seen performing rituals with his head with tribal dhoti and toned and clad in kurta, and a ‘glory’ on his shoulders, his wheelchair-bound mother Roopi and rituals with wife Kalpana. Both his sons and his brother, Basant were also present with their heads.
The CM thanked the people, saying that a huge gathering and state from every corner of the country were running deeply.
“Late Baba Dishes Guru Shibu Soren ji was like a banyan tree for millions of Jharkhand. A banyan tree whose deep roots reached every corner, every house in this brave and revolutionary land, every house in the land, giving everyone a shadow with his huge canopy,” He posted on X.
“Baba’s great life was full of struggle, sacrifice and service for Jharkhand and his people. He nurtured the soul of Jharkhand, protected the state identity, and gave recognition and self-respect to every person,” he said.
Soren said that his father inspired many generations and left an indelible mark everywhere.
He said, “The dish guru is not just a person, but an idea, which will keep us connected to our roots and will give Jharkhand the strength to move towards a bright future. Last Jauhar to Baba …”, he said.
Choubey said that Shibu Soren’s visit from the forests of Jharkhand to Parliament was incredible.
The veteran leader, who co-established the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, died on August 4 during treatment at a hospital in Delhi. He was 81 years old.
A large -scale security arrangements were also made in the Nondoscript village, in which a large gathering was seen in addition to VVIP movements.
“A dedicated control room was established in Nemra to manage public safety and traffic regulation,” said an official.
He said that more than 2,500 police personnel were deployed along with 10 IPS officers, 60 Deputy Superintendents of Police and 65 inspectors.
“Multi-agency teams were present 24/7 to ensure effective mob management, emergency response and law and order,” he said.
To facilitate the smooth movement, more than 300 e-rickshaws were working between the designated parking areas and the scene, the official said.
He said that three major parking areas were established, each of which was equipped with bio-toilets.
“In addition, the rest of the areas and dedicated walking routes were built for ease of visitors,” the official said.
Catering was arranged in three major food pandals, where traditional ‘revered’ food and ‘Prasad’ were served.
Another official said that various vegetarian, non-vegetarian and tribal foods were prepared by chefs from Jharkhand, West Bengal and other states.
He said that the meat of more than 5,000 goats was served in addition to fish and other specialties.
CM has been organizing camp in the village since August 5.
A special memorial gallery was also established to remember Shibu Soren’s life and heritage.
Pictures were shown from his political career in the exhibition, in which special attention was paid to his contribution to tribal welfare.
Born on January 11, 1944, Soren, popularly known as ‘Dishm Guru’, is one of the most permanent political figures in the country’s tribal and regional political scenario.
His political life was defined by continuous advocacy for the rights of tribals.
In 1973, Soren co-established JMM with Bengali Marxist Trade Unionist AK Roy and Kurmi-Mao leader Binod Bihari Maho in Dhanbad.
JMM soon became a primary political voice for the demand of a separate tribal state, and got support in Chaunnagpur and Santhal Pargana areas.
Soren’s gathering at the grassroots level against “feudal exploitation” is said to have shaped her as a tribal icon.
After decades of agitation, the demand for a separate state was finally fulfilled with the formation of Jharkhand, which was excluded from Bihar on 15 November 2000.
Soren’s influence was not limited to state politics.
He was selected several times from Dumka to the Lok Sabha. He became a Rajya Sabha MP in June 2020.
As an important person in the UPA government, he served as the Minister of Coal from 23 May to 24 July 2004, 27 November 2004 to 2 March 2005 and January to November 2006.
