Raipur, 10 February 2022. Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel paid floral tributes to the portrait of Amar Shaheed Adivasi Jannayak Gundadhur on the Bhukal Memorial Day at his residence office here today. Parliamentary Secretary Shri Shishupal Sori was also present on the occasion.
Recalling Amar Shaheed Gundadhur, Chief Minister Shri Baghel said that before independence, the voice of protest against the atrocities of the British also rose in the tribal areas of Chhattisgarh. Tribal Jannayaks played an important role in raising this protest and sacrificed their everything. Under the leadership of one of these Jannayaks, Amar Shaheed Gundadhur, the tribals fought resolutely against the British rule for water, forest and land in 1910 in Bastar. As a symbol of tribal consciousness, the martyr Gundadhur will live forever in the public mind. His sacrifice will always give courage to the tribals to raise their voice against exploitation.
He said that the flame that Amar Shaheed Gundadhur has ignited in the tribal people to protect their rights, it will always be burning. The Bhukal Diwas, celebrated in his memory, will always inspire us to be alert to protect our rights.
