New Delhi, January 31

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday said the arrest of Hemant Soren was a blow to federalism.

“The one who does not go with Modi ji will go to jail. Sending ED against Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and forcing him to resign is a blow to federalism.

“Intimidating Opposition leaders by making the provisions of PMLA draconian is part of the BJP’s tool kit. The BJP’s work of destabilising the Opposition governments one by one as part of a conspiracy is continuing.

“What went into the BJP’s washing machine is clean as white, what didn’t go is tainted? If democracy has to be saved from dictatorship, then BJP will have to be defeated,” he said, adding that the Opposition will not be afraid.

“Will continue to fight from Parliament to the streets,” he said.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
