RANCHI: Tribal groups from Jharkhand will head for Delhi from February 25 onwards to shift their protest to the national capital to demand a separate tribal religious code in the upcoming census.
On Saturday, members of different groups under the banner of Rashtriya Adivasi Dharma Samanway Samiti (National Tribal Religion Coordination Committee), staged a daylong dharna outside the Raj Bhavan to press for the demand.
Notably, chief minister Hemant Soren, whose government had passed a resolution for a separate tribal code in the assembly last year, too, raised the demand before Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the online meeting of Niti Aayog.
