There is going to be a big movement in the state regarding delisting (tribals who have changed their religion, or to exclude the reserved class from the benefits of reservation). BJP and Congress are face to face regarding this. The movement has the full support of organizations like RSS, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal from behind. State Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has called it a conspiracy.
In a discussion with the media on Saturday, on the movement regarding delisting, the CM said – thi
s demonstration should be held in Delhi. Government of India will take this decision. That’s why one should go to him and speak, there is no point in holding a rally in Chhattisgarh. Here Bharatiya Janata Party, RSS, Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad all together trying to mislead people. They are just plotting. Brijmohan replied
On Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel’s comment on the role of BJP, Brijmohan Agarwal has said that his Congress party gives patronage to those who convert tribals. That’s why they are pointing fingers at the agitation of the tribals who are protesting against the de-listing. Tribals across the country are anxious to safeguard their rights. There are many people who are taking facilities of tribals even after changing their faith, their culture, their rituals and their traditions by converting religion. Taking away the rights of tribals. BJP is working to protect the culture.
Narayanpur incident is also the result of this. In many places in Bastar, the condition is such that the tribal society is not giving burial place to the people who converted to Christianity in their cremation grounds. This has emerged as a serious problem. Pastor is wearing saffron cloth, the name of the person who changes religion is not changed. Governments in the past have started a conspiracy of conversion to break the tribal society for their personal interest. Brijmohan Agarwal further said – Congress leaders have started seeing RSS and BJP even in their dreams. Look at their mistakes, how they are taking away the rights of tribals. This is going to happen in Raipur
There will be a campaign to end the reservation of the tribal class of the state and to end the special arrangements they get from the government. This campaign will run against such tribal people who have accepted Christianity or Islam. The campaign will start with a big rally on April 16 in Raipur. It will be headed by the Tribal Security Forum. Now in this rally, only one demand will be made to the government, that is delisting, it simply means to remove such people from the list of reservation who have converted. What do the campaigners say?
Organization’s Ganesh Ram Bhagat (National Convenor, Tribal Security Forum), Bhojraj Nag (Convenor), Roshan Pratap Singh (Convenor) and Sangeeta Poya (Co-Convenor) told about the movement. These office bearers said- In fact, reservation has been given to the tribal society so that their social and economic conditions can be uplifted. But the basic purpose of tribal reservation becomes meaningless, when the tribe rejects its original culture and customs and converts to another religion, then how can it be eligible to avail the benefits given to the tribes?
