Paying tributes to iconic freedom fighter Bhagwan Birsa Munda on his Janm-Jayanti, the Lt Governor remembered the immense contribution of the tribal freedom fighters & brave heroes in freedom struggle and nation building.

“The nation will forever be indebted to the bravery, courage & supreme sacrifice of Bhagwan Birsa Munda and other tribal icons”, said the Lt Governor.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is working tirelessly to fulfil dreams of tribals. I urge people not to fall for those instigating people on reservation. Hon’ble HM has assured Gujjars & other community’s interests will be protected & there will be no decrease in their quota even by one per cent, observed the Lt Governor.

“I urge those undertaking Padyatra to return home. Some people with vested interest are spreading rumours on reservation. They are the same people who do not want peace and progress in the region”, the Lt Governor said.

We recognize the critical role and contribution of tribal community in the development of J&K UT. They are prime mover of the progress. Tribal community is our moral compass and taught us the values of co-existence, oneness, harmony and sustainable living, the Lt Governor said.

The Lt Governor further added that after decades of wait, Hon’ble Prime Minister has transformed the dream of social equity and justice into reality. It has brought fast and radical change in the lives of tribal community and paved the path for socio-economic growth.
