Dumka: The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) celebrated its 46th Foundation Day with great enthusiasm on Sunday. On this occasion, Chief Minister Hemant Soren addressed the people of Jharkhand, emphasizing that the struggle for Jharkhand was not just about statehood but about securing the rights and dignity of Adivasis and indigenous communities, a battle that continues even today.
Legacy of Struggle and the Road Ahead
The Chief Minister stated that JMM was founded as a revolutionary movement against exploitation and injustice. Under the leadership of Dishom Guru Shibu Soren, this struggle gained momentum and led to the creation of Jharkhand. However, he pointed out that even today, the state’s Adivasis, farmers, and laborers must fight for their rightful place.
Demanding Jharkhand’s Rights on Foundation Day
