Mamata to chair meeting of TMC national working committee
Trinamul Congress chairperson Mamata Banerjee will preside over the meeting of the national working committee of the party tomorrow. The meeting will be held at her Kalighat residence.
Chief minister Mamata Banerjee today hailed the release of former Jharkhand chief minister Mamata Banerjee Soren by Jharkhand High court. The CM was arrested in connection with PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering case) by the Enforcement Directorate.
In a tweet, the chief minister said, “Hemant Soren, an important tribal leader and chief minister of Jharkhand, had to resign because of a case but today he has received bail from the Hon’ble High Court. I am very happy with the great development and am sure that he will start his public activities immediately. Welcome back, Hemant amidst us”.
Mr Soren was arrested by the ED on 31 January allegedly in connection with the money laundering case.
