Das further said Soren wants to establish rule of terror in Jharkhand.

His letter to the governor comes as the Supreme Court allowed appeals from Soren and the Jharkhand government against a high court order accepting the maintainability of public interest litigation (PIL) for a probe in the illegal mining case.

Earlier in the day, Jharkhand Congress working president Bandhu Tirkey stoked controversy after asking party workers to "thrash" BJP activists if required.

“We are not against any investigation. But if it is done with a political vendetta, a proper reply will be given. I urge party workers to expose the BJP and if required thrash the BJP workers,” Tirkey said during a sitting of the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) near the Raj Bhavan in Ranchi against the BJP and the summons issued to Soren.

Later, Das tweeted, “First (UPA) involved in corruption and if caught, incite violence. BJP workers do not get thrashed, they give the befitting reply."(UPA) Don’t touch them (BJP workers) even by mistake.”
