Protect rights of Jharkhand tribals: Brinda

New Delhi, Mar 14 (UNI) CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat today raised the issue of Jharkhand tribals in the Rajya Sabha, saying the Centre must protect their rights.

The state assembly has passed a resolution to decrease reserved seats for scheduled tribes from 28 to 21, she said during the zero hour.

The Centre should intervene to reverse this, said Ms Karat, adding antayodya schemes in Jharkhand must spread to check migration from the state.
