Ruling Congress Government’s approach against the grabbing of land belonging to a family belonging to Pahari Korwa - Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG), by the son of a Minister in the Chhattisgarh Government, is raising questions. In this direction a memorandum was submitted to Governor Anusuiya Uikey by the members of victim Pahari Korwa family on Monday.
 
The Pahari Korwa family was accompanied by former BJP MLA Deojibhai Patel and other party office-bearers. After submitting the memorandum to the Governor, the victim Pahari Korwa family demanded a high level enquiry into the matter. Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party Scheduled Tribe Cell State President Vikas Markam has alleged that the son of the Minister had purchased the land from the Pahari Korwa family wrongfully while violating norms. He alleged how can anyone purchase a land which belongs to Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group. By using clout the same has been done which amounts to land grabbing, he alleged. Markam further alleged that the land was fraudulently purchased which further proves that the Congress can do anything while in power.
 
The Congress government claims to be tribal friendly while the state government and its Minister are indulged in atrocities against the tribals. Markam further added that now that the issue has been exposed the Minister has reportedly accepted that they will return the land, which exposes the Minister and his family are involved in this fiasco. Terming the whole fiasco as unfortunate, Markam has demanded from Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel to immediately terminate the said Minister on morale grounds. Markam has further demanded that the land thus purchased from the victim Pahari Korwa family should be returned immediately and strict action should be taken against those involved in this fiasco. He also demanded adequate security for the Pahari Korwa family.
