Honour Shibu ji with Bharat Ratna, say political leaders
Ranchi: Many political leaders attending the last rites of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) patriarch Shibu Soren on Tuesday called for conferring the Bharat Ratna, the country's highest civilian honour, to one of the tribal stalwarts of Indian politics. Leaders across the political spectrum, including both the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) partner and the INDIA bloc parties, echoed similar sentiments. Jharkhand Congress leader and state health minister Irfan Ansari said that conferring Bharat Ratna to Shibu Soren will not only be a true tribute to Jharkhand but to the entire tribal society of the country. "Shibu Soren ji is not just a politician but a revolutionary, a people's hero, who advocated for tribals' rights and dedicated his life to protect their rights over Jal, Jangal and Jameen. Honouring him with the Bharat Ratna will be the truest tribute to his legacy," said Ansari. He appealed to the Centre to confer Soren with the Bharat Ratna, paying floral tribute to the tribal leader. Congress MP from Bihar's Purnia constituency, Pappu Yadav too sought Bharat Ratna for the former chief minister, in recognition to his contributions for the upliftment of tribals.

State pays tribute to first CM on his 75th death anniversary
Guwahati: The 75th death anniversary of Gopinath Bordoloi, Assam's first chief minister and one of the foremost architects of modern Assam, was commemorated across the state on Tuesday, with solemn tributes and programmes to honour him. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, taking to X, paid his tribute to the freedom fighter. "Today, on his punyatithi, we remember Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi, Assam's first Chief Minister and a towering figure of our state, whose unwavering dedication to our land and its people continues to inspire generations. His role in opposing the Cabinet Mission's Grouping Plan which threatened to merge Assam with Bengal, potentially leading to our state's inclusion in East Pakistan, led to safeguarding our sovereignty and integrating us firmly into independent India. As we mark the day as Lok Kalyan Diwas, I urge everyone to follow the ideals set by the Bharat Ratna and serve the people of Assam with utmost dedication," he wrote. In Guwahati, to uphold his legacy, state govt presented the Loksewa and Karmashree awards to 69 state govt employees, who had diligently committed to their role in the realm of public service, at Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra. In other districts across the state, the freedom fighter's legacy was celebrated by organising floral tributes, cultural events, and public meetings. Meanwhile, a humble tribute was also offered at Raj Bhawan, by the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee. Sharing a post on X, the party said, "Remembering Gopinath Bordoloi on his 75th death anniversary, a towering freedom fighter and Assam's first Chief Minister. His unwavering love for India, Assam, and the Assamese people will forever inspire us, he continues to live on in our hearts." It must be noted that, as an ode to his legacy, the book originally titled Bordoloi Smriti Granth, first published in Hindi in 1952 by Akela Publications, has now been released in Assamese. This rare work serves as a significant tribute to him.

Shibu Soren cremated at native village Nemra
The mortal remains of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren were consigned to flames by his elder son and Chief Minister Hemant Soren at their native village Nemra in Ramgarh district. People from near and far thronged the village to catch a last glimpse of the leader, who was fondly known as 'Dishom Guru' by the masses. His body was laid on a flower-decked charpoy at his ancestral home in the village, in adherence to full tribal customs. Near and dear ones queued up to offer shrouds, chadar, shawls, and bouquets. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and party leader Rahul Gandhi also travelled to the village to attend the funeral of the veteran tribal leader. As the body was carried to the village, supporters and local residents lined both sides of the road in Ranchi to pay their last respects. Slogans of 'Guruji amar rahe [long live Guruji]' were raised by mourners. The mortal remains of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) co-founder Shibu Soren were also kept in the Jharkhand Assembly, where Governor Santosh Gangwar and Speaker Rabindranath Mahato paid tributes. Union Ministers Jual Oram, Annapurna Devi and Sanjay Seth paid homage at the Assembly complex. State ministers Irfan Ansari, Dipika Pandey Singh, Shilpi Neha Tirkey and several legislators, cutting across party lines, also offered tributes. Bihar's Purnia Independent MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav, who paid homage, demanded that the Bharat Ratna be conferred on Shibu Soren in recognition of his contribution to the upliftment of tribal communities. Earlier in the day, Hemant Soren shared an emotional tribute to his father, who passed away in Delhi on Monday (August 4, 2025), through a message on social media platform X. In a post on X, Mr. Soren said he was going through the toughest days of his life as he had lost not only his father but also a pillar of Jharkhand's soul. 'I didn't just call him 'Baba'. He was my guide, the root of my thoughts, and that forest-like shade that protected thousands and lakhs of Jharkhandis from the scorching sun and injustice,' Mr. Soren said. The 81-year-old former Union Minister had passed away at the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, where he had been undergoing treatment for kidney-related issues for over a month. Mr. Soren further said that his father's beginnings, whom he called 'Baba', were very humble. 'Born in that small house in Nemra village, where there was poverty, there was hunger, but there was courage. In his childhood, he lost his father. The exploitation of the landlords gave him a fire that made him a fighter for his entire life. I have seen him ploughing the fields, sitting among the people, not just giving speeches, but living the sorrows of the people,' Mr. Soren said in the post. He added, 'In my childhood, when I asked him: 'Baba, why do people call you Dishom Guru?' He would smile and say: 'Because, son, I only understood their pain and made their fight my own'. That title was not written in any book, nor was it given by Parliament — it came from the hearts of Jharkhand's people. 'Dishom' means society, 'Guru' means the one who shows the way.' Shibu Soren had played a key role in the creation of the separate State of Jharkhand. Mr. Soren noted that his father not only showed the way, but also taught how to walk. He recalled that he had always seen him struggling and taking on the mightiest. 'I was scared, but Baba was never afraid. He would say: 'If standing against injustice is a crime, then I will be guilty again and again.' No book can explain Baba's struggle. It was in his sweat, in his voice, and in the cracked heels covered by his sandals. When Jharkhand became a State, his dream came true, but he never considered power an achievement,' Mr. Soren said. He asserted that Jharkhand was not a throne for his father, but the identity of his people. 'Today, Baba is no longer here, but his voice echoes within me. I learned to fight from you, Baba, not to bow down. I learned to love Jharkhand from you without any selfishness. Now you are not among us, but you are in every path of Jharkhand. The dream you saw is now my promise. I will not let Jharkhand bow down; I will not let your name fade away. Your struggle will not remain incomplete,' Mr. Soren said. On Monday, leaders cutting across party lines paid tribute to Shibu Soren. President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, and Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge visited Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and paid tributes to the veteran tribal leader. 'Baba, now you rest. You have fulfilled your duty, now we must walk in your footsteps. Jharkhand will remain indebted to you. I, your son, will keep your promise. Long live Veer Shibu - Long live, long live! May Dishom Guru remain immortal. Hail Jharkhand,' Mr. Soren said at the end of the message.
