Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Wednesday recommended to drop sedition charges against 3000 unidentified persons who participated in anti-CAA protests in the Wasseypur area of Dhanbad district.
In a tweet on Wednesday, Soren said, “Laws are not made to frighten and silence the people but to instill a feeling of safety in the public. My government will work towards being the voice of the people. We have recommended taking back the sedition cases registered against 3,000 people and also asked for action against the concerned official.”
क़ानून जनता को डराने एवं उनकी आवाज़ दबाने के लिए नहीं बल्कि आम जन-मानस में सुरक्षा का भाव उत्पन्न करने को होता है।
मेरे नेतृत्व में चल रही सरकार में क़ानून जनता की आवाज़ को बुलंद करने का कार्य करेगी।
