Tribals to intensify stir against land order

RANCHI: With the Supreme Court of India dismissing the petition challenging a Jharkhand high court order allowing the government to continue with the eviction of land and construction of educational institution in Nagri mauja, tribal leaders are up in arm against the government and political parties.

Addressing the media here on Friday, Mandar MLA Bandhu Tirkey said since the plea of the tribal community was not heard even in the apex court, they had no option but to intensify their stir on lines of the historical protests of Koel Karo scheme and Netarhat field firing range.

"The tribal land in areas under the Fifth Schedule of the Indian Constitution is governed by the protection laws like the Chotanagpur Tenancy Act and the Santhal Pargana Tenancy Act still the law is being openly violated by the government," he said. Expressing dissatisfaction over the way the petition was rejected in the apex court, Tirkey said even the judiciary seemed to have turned cold about the rights of tribal. "When there is open violation of the act in the basic concept of land acquisition, how can it be overlooked on ground of being 50 years' old matter," he argued.

Asked about the next move, Tirkey said the farmers would continue to till their land and go on farming whereas the leaders would establish communication with political parties across party lines to seek their cooperation. "Since the tribals have been denied justice at every possible forum, there are chances that construction would be demolished if the officials try to disturb them in farming," Tirkey said.

The tribal leaders have questioned if the prestige of institutions is above the right to live.

"The way land is being acquired hundreds of families would not only be rendered homeless but their only way of earning livelihood through farming would also be snatched," he said.
