On January 31, Hemant Soren resigned as Jharkhand chief minister and was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate soon after in a land scam case. On the same night, in an innuendo-laden tirade, Aaj Tak anchor Sudhir Chaudhary asked if the Soren family, which belongs to the SC/ST community, should be “given reservation” or the benefits of the SC/ST Act.
He also said that Soren’s night in the jail would be like going back by “20, 30, 40 years like an Adivasi to the jungle”.
