Following the passing of Shibu Soren, a prominent leader from Jharkhand and the founder of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha party on August 4th, Minister Irfan Ansari has called for the Bharat Ratna to be awarded to ‘Dishom Guru’ Shibu Soren. Ansari, upon paying his respects, stated his request to the President, emphasizing Soren’s deserving nature, revolutionary spirit, and role as a voice for the impoverished.
