NEW DELHI: (Oct 5) The Congress on Monday labelled the BJP-led Maharashtra government “anti-tribal” after police allegedly detained tribal students who had come to Mumbai to stage a protest seeking the resignation of the state tribal development minister.
In a post on X, Congress general secretary in-charge, communications, Jairam Ramesh said, “Shame on the so-called double engine government in Maharashtra which is clearly Adivasi-virodhi.”
Earlier, the Maharashtra Congress alleged that police early on Monday stopped several tribal students who had come to Mumbai to stage a protest at Azad Maidan and detained them. According to the Congress, tribal students have been protesting for over 10 days seeking redressal of their various demands regarding scholarships, lack of basic amenities in ashram (residential) schools, hostels, among other issues.
