Baripada: Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was shown black flags during his visit to the memorial of Pandit Raghunath Murmu in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district.
Sources said Soren visited the memorial to pay his respects to the tribal icon who developed the Ol Chiki script for Santali language.
Soren reached Dandbosh village on the outskirts of Rairangpur town on Friday after President Droupadi Murmu paid her tribute to the legendary Santali scholar.
Soon, tribal leader and former MP Salkhan Murmu led his supporters to the demonstration, alleging that Soren was working against the interest of tribals.
The demonstrators showed black flags to the Jharkhand chief minister, apart from raising slogans against him. However, the police personnel swung into action and chased them away.
Soren later addressed a gathering in the area.
