The issue of CRPF personnel coming to the CM residence during ED’s interrogation of Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Saturday is gaining momentum. The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) has sought complete information in this regard from the Home Department and Police Headquarters. The CMO has asked how the CRPF jawans came into the restricted area? What action has been taken against them? It is noteworthy that on Saturday, when ED officials were interrogating Chief Minister Hemant Soren at his official residence on Kanke Road, CRPF jawans reached there in several buses. He wanted to go to the Chief Minister’s residence, but the district administration sent him back. JMM has declared CRPF’s entry illegal during ED’s interrogation of CM on Saturday. Party’s Central General Secretaries Supriyo Bhattacharya and Vinod Kumar Pandey have demanded the government to conduct a high-level investigation into the matter and take strict legal action against the CRPF IG, Commandant and other guilty officers. Said that the government should expose the conspiracy of CRPF, otherwise JMM will be forced to protest. BJP state spokesperson Pratul Shahdev has hit back at JMM’s statement. It is said that on Saturday it seemed that the Chief Minister, surrounded by allegations of corruption, was breaking all decorum to divert attention. It seemed that the top leadership of JMM would even force JMM workers to resort to violence. If the CRPF had not come during the questioning of the CM on Saturday, then some untoward incident with the ED could not have been ruled out. Despite Section 144 being in force, on the call of the Chief Minister, 10,000 JMM workers reached near the Chief Minister’s residence with weapons. Through these workers, was the Chief Minister trying to intimidate the country’s judicial system, judges, central agency or the Constitution of the country? This government was creating an atmosphere of fear. Shri Shahdev said that when prohibitory order under Section 144 was in force near the Chief Minister’s residence, then how did the administration allow thousands of JMM workers to gather there with weapons?
