RAIPUR: "The true meaning of 'tribal' is the original inhabitants of this country, those who originally owned the land, water, and forests of the country and have the first rights over them. However, the Bharatiya Janata Party has coined a new term for tribals - 'Vanvasi,' which implies that tribals should be restricted to the jungles only. They give new names to tribals, spread hatred, and violence, and incite clashes between two religions, castes, and languages. In contrast, the Congress has pledged to spread 'Love' wherever they have sown hatred," said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at the Rajiv Yuva Mitaan Sammelan in the new capital of Chhattisgarh on Saturday.
He stated that wherever the BJP opens doors to hatred, the Congress will establish a 'Center for Love.' The objective of the 'Bharat jodo yatra' from Kanyakumari to Kashmir was to promote love and harmony by bringing together all religions and languages. It aimed to remind everyone that they are first 'Hindustani' and need to coexist.
