Time to wage war against feudal system that oppresses poor, tribal, Dalit: Hemant Soren

Ranchi: Jharkhand Mukti Morcha executive president and former chief minister Hemant Soren has said that the time has come to wage a war against a feudal system that oppresses poor, dalits and tribals.

"I will not cow down...Ultimately truth will prevail," Soren said in a video message recorded just before his arrest. Soren also claimed that he was not linked to the money laundering case in which he was arrested.
