Ranchi : The Adivasi Democratic Rights Front held a meeting under the chairmanship of Bandhu Tirkey to discuss issues concerning the constitutional, democratic, social and political rights of the tribal community. The meeting discussed organisational expansion, key issues affecting tribal society and the strategy for future movements. A state-level executive committee was also constituted.
Shashi Panna and Laxminarayan Munda were appointed as the chief spokespersons of the Front.
The meeting described the proposed delimitation exercise as an important issue concerning the political representation and constitutional rights of the tribal community.
