Kolkata, Dec 27 (TIWN) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee would be among the host of opposition leaders slated to attend the December 29 swearing-in ceremony of Hemant Soren as Jharkhand chief minister in Ranchi, sources close to her said.

With top opposition leaders of the country scheduled to attend the programme, Soren's swearing-in ceremony is likely to be a "show of unity" in the wake of countrywide protests against the amended Citizenship Act and the proposed pan-India NRC.  "We share a very good relationship with Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and Hemant Soren. So far, it has been decided that our party supremo along with some senior leaders would attend Soren's swearing-in ceremony on December 29," a senior TMC leader said.  The ceremony will be more of a "show of strength and unity of opposition leaders", he said.  "This would send out be a very crucial political message in the wake of ongoing unrest across the country over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, " another senior TMC leader said.
