The morcha is organised under the banner of the All India Tribal Development Council and is led by national youth president Lucky Jadhav. State president Ganesh Gawli said, “India is run by the Constitution of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. The Hyderabad Gazette has nothing to do with reservation. We do not accept it. This march is for 19 pending demands of the tribals, including not giving reservation to the Dhangar and Banjara communities in the ST category.”
The demands include land rights, improved education and healthcare facilities, special development plans, and action on injustices in the reservation and social justice. Participants from Nashik, Igatpuri, Thane, and other districts have joined the march in large numbers, displaying unity within the tribal community.
The organisers said the agitation aims to increase pressure on the government. “This march is for the rights of the tribals. The government should accept the demands; otherwise, the agitation will intensify,” Jadhav said. The protest highlights the ongoing struggles and aspirations of the tribal communities, who are seeking recognition and equitable treatment in various aspects of life, from land rights to educational opportunities.
The All India Tribal Development Council has been a vocal advocate for the rights of tribal communities, pushing for policies that address their unique needs and challenges. This march is a significant step in raising awareness and demanding action from the government. The tribal community hopes that their voices will be heard and their demands addressed, leading to a more inclusive and just society for all.
