Rahul Gandhi pays tribute to legendary tribal activist Birsa Munda

In a poignant moment during the ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi paid homage to the eminent tribal activist, Birsa Munda, in the Khunti region of Jharkhand. The yatra, which has garnered widespread acclaim from various corners of the nation, unfolded on February 7, with senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh highlighting Rahul Gandhi's tribute to Birsa Munda.

Jairam Ramesh, through a post on the social media platform X, emphasized the historical significance of Khunti district as the birthplace of Bhagwan Birsa Munda. Birsa Munda, an iconic figure in the Indian tribal independence movement, championed the principles of self-rule, democracy, and justice.

Recognizing the importance of a distinct movement for tribal rights, Birsa Munda played a pivotal role in raising awareness about the ground issues faced by indigenous communities. The Bharat Jodo Yatra, with its focus on marginalized communities, aims to bring their concerns into the political mainstream for a more inclusive and robust national growth.
