Bhopal. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the PESA Act will be implemented in Madhya Pradesh on November 15, the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda, for the welfare of the tribals. In official information, it was told here today that Chouhan was addressing the pride saga program of Mangarh Dham organized in the chief hospitality of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Mangarh Hill in Banswara, Rajasthan. Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai Patel, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Union Ministers were present in the program.
Addressing the program, Chouhan said that it was decided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to celebrate the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda on November 15 as Tribal Pride Day. On this occasion, PESA Act will be implemented in Madhya Pradesh for the welfare of tribal brothers and sisters. The Chief Minister said that many development activities and welfare schemes are being run for the tribal brothers and sisters to live with self-respect. Prime Minister Modi has done an effective job of honoring the tribal heroes of Mangarh and taking their identity to the masses. The decision to build a memorial at the sacrifice site of the heroes is a real tribute to the martyrs. Chouhan said that the tradition of worshiping martyrs has been restarted by Prime Minister Modi. The work of building a memorial in the memory of tribal heroes like Bhima Nayak, Tantya Mama, Raghunath Shah-Shankar Shah has also been done on the soil of Madhya Pradesh.
He said that there were many martyrs of the freedom struggle, whose sacrifice could not come to the fore. In Mangarh, Govind Guru accepted the challenge of the British to protect his religion and culture and more than 1500 heroes made sacrifices. Prime Minister Modi’s decision to build a memorial at the place of sacrifice is commendable. A large number of tribal brothers and sisters from Madhya Pradesh have also come to pay obeisance to Mangarh Dham. These people should do tilak on their spear from the soil of Mangarh Dham and take this sacrificial soil to their village also. Mangarh Dham is the land of sacrifice. Those who laid down their lives for the country will always be remembered and worshipped. (talk)
