Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren passed away at the age of 81. His son and Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren paid his last tributes to the veteran leader and said, “I have become zero today.”

आदरणीय दिशोम गुरुजी हम सभी को छोड़कर चले गए हैं।

आज मैं शून्य हो गया हूँ…

Shibu Soren was on a ventilator support and in critical condition. He breathed his last at the Sri Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi, where he was admitted for over a month. He was hospitalised in the last week of June with a kidney-related issue.

Shibu Soren had been the leader of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha for the past 38 years and is recognised as the party’s founding patron.
