False cases are being registered and forced raids are being conducted by ED. The ED and CBI are misused," Kalpana Soren said.
"We would like to see that justice is served to us quickly. This is why we are determined to unitedly fight against the dictatorial government. To save democracy we have to come out on the streets," she added.
