Read on the app ★Chief Minister Hemant Soren has once again used the 1932 Khunti-based local identity bill passed by the Parliament before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The Chief Minister had previously made it an issue that the Central Government was targeting his government through the ED. Now he has a new weapon in the form of the 1932 Khunti-based local identity bill. He has been summoned by the ED six times for questioning in the land scam. The Chief Minister has asked for the basis of the summons from the ED. He has called it politically motivated.
Hemant Soren, the Executive President of Jharkhand, has directed the district organizations to be prepared to handle any situation in a meeting with party workers and officials. The Chief Minister has described the 1932 Khunti-based local identity bill as connected to the tribal identity and pride. He did not heed the suggestions of the Governor regarding this bill and remained adamant about its provisions. Through this, he has taken a step forward in reserving the third and fourth category positions for Jharkhandis. The 1932 Khunti-based local identity bill is the election resolution of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and has been passed in the Assembly without any amendments.
Last year on November 11, the Hemant government also passed this bill in the Assembly and took a historic step, but due to discrepancies, the bill was returned by the Governor’s House. After that, on July 27 of this year, the bill returned by the Raj Bhavan was sent by the state government to the Assembly along with the message of the Governor as requested under Article 200 of the Indian Constitution and Rule 98(1) of the Jharkhand Vidhan Sabha.
The Governor’s message was received by the Assembly in the past few days, in which the Governor mentioned that the bill is being returned for reconsideration according to the legal and constitutional opinion of the Attorney General of India. It is said that Section 6(a) of the bill may violate Article 14 and Article 16(2) of the Constitution and hence may be considered invalid.
The appointments to the third and fourth category positions should not be reserved only for local individuals and should not deny opportunities to others, as it is not in accordance with the Constitution. It was suggested that a constitutionally secure method be considered to reserve fourth category positions only for local individuals. However, the Hemant government did not accept these suggestions.
Regarding the Khunti Johar, the Chief Minister will once again be vocal in his upcoming rallies. CM Soren will participate in the “Sarkar Aapke Dwar” program in Dhanbad on the 22nd, Ramgarh on the 23rd, Chatra on the 26th, and Latehar on the 27th. During this time, he will also address the rallies. The Chief Minister will connect people with the 1932 Khunti-based local identity bill.
झारखंड के मुख्यमंत्री हेमंत सोरेन ने बिना संशोधन किए 1932 खतियान आधारित स्थानीयता विधेयक को दोबारा सदन से पारित करा लिया है। इससे पहले उन्हें केन्द्र सरकार द्वारा ईडी के माध्यम से निशाना साधा जा रहा था। अब उन्हें ईडी की ओर से छह बार पूछताछ के लिए समन भेजा गया है। इसके साथ ही वह झारखंडी युवाओं के लिए तृतीय और चतुर्थ श्रेणी के पदों पर आरक्षण के लिए भी संघर्ष कर रहे हैं। मुख्यमंत्री ने झारखंड के विकास के लिए आदिवासी अस्मिता और पहचान को महत्वपूर्ण ठहराया है। इससे पहले भी उन्होंने यह विधेयक सदन से पारित कर कराया था, लेकिन त्रुटियों के कारण इसे वापस लौटाना पड़ा था। अब वह इसे दोबारा सदन से पारित करा चुके हैं।
