  • Congress leader rahul gandhi while addressing a rally in wayanad on sunday (August 13) accused the bjp of trying to
  • confine tribal communities to forests. Along with this, he also talked about depriving the tribal communities of the status
  • of original ownership of plots by calling them 'Vanvasi' instead of Adivasi.
  • Rahul gandhi alleged that a distorted logic is given behind calling tribals forest dwellers. He said, "It deprives you (tribals)
  • of the original owner's rights of the land and its purpose is to confine you to the forest. It means that you belong to the
  • forest and you should not leave the forest."
  • "You are tribal for congress "e;
  • The congress leader said that this ideology is not acceptable to his party, as the term vanvasi distorts the history and
  • traditions of tribal communities and is an attack on their relationship with the country. He said, "For us (the Congress) you
  • are a tribal, the original owner of the land." rahul gandhi said that since the tribals are the original owners of the land,
  • they should be given land and forest rights and should be allowed to imagine doing whatever they want.
  • What else did rahul gandhi say?
  • He said that these communities should be given all the opportunities in education, jobs, profession etc. which are given to
  • everyone in the country. The congress MP said, "You (tribal communities) should not be confined or classified. The entire
  • planet should be open to you." rahul gandhi said that the word tribal means a special knowledge, an understanding of the
  • environment of the earth on which we live and the relationship with the planet.
