Tripura: Congress ignored contribution of tribals in India's fight for independence, says Scindia
Jyotiraditya Scindia on Friday criticised the Congress for overlooking the significant contributions of the tribal community in India's fight for independence. Speaking at a programme marking the birth anniversary of tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda, the DoNER and communications minister called the tribal leaders «heroes not only for the tribal community but for the entire nation.»
«Birsa Munda fought a decisive battle against British rule and made the ultimate sacrifice for Bharat Mata. He is a hero to 140 crore people in India, not just the janajati (tribal) community,» Scindia said, asserting that India's history would be incomplete without acknowledging the tribal contributions to the freedom struggle.
Taking aim at the Congress, Scindia claimed that the tribals were neglected under its rule and their historical contributions were forgotten.
«When Congress was in power, the tribals were disconnected from the nation's growth, and their role in the freedom movement was ignored,» he added.
The Union Minister praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for rectifying this historical injustice.
