Mortal remains of veteran tribal leader and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) patriarch Shibu Soren reached state capital Ranchi on Monday evening, with thousands of people waiting outside the airport and lining the streets to pay their final respects to the iconic leader, affectionately known as Dishom Guru.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren and his legislator wife Kalpana Soren accompanied the body, which was flown in on a special aircraft from Delhi.
As soon as the mortal remains reached Birsa Munda Airport here, JMM workers and leaders who were gathered there in large numbers started raising slogans like ‘Dishom Guru Amar Rahe (long live the leader of the people).
