RAIPUR: Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren today charged the BJP government in Chhattisgarh of having failed to provide security to the thousands of tribals from Maoists.
"Is Salwa Judum our culture," asked Shoren addressing a rally here at Gandhi Maidan while referring to the controversial anti-naxal campaign going on in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh.
"Thousands of people are living in (Salwa Judum) camps. But due to lack of security by the State government several were killed by Maoists in those places," he said.
Asking the SC and ST communities to leave liquor consumption and other bad habits which are affecting the culture, the tribal leader said.
"If culture and tradition are not protected then a civilisation would be endangered. The tribals are not getting respect in Orissa, Chhattisgarh and many other places," he said.
If the exploitation of tribals was not stopped there could be a revolution for justice, Shoren said adding that it takes hardly any time in democracy to change the guard.
The rally was also addressed by some SC and ST leaders of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.
