Ranchi, March 15 -- The Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee on Sunday welcomed Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi's demand to confer the Bharat Ratna on Bahujan movement leader Kanshi Ram.
State Congress media chairman Satish Paul Munjani said Kanshi Ram dedicated his life to securing social justice, dignity and political participation for marginalised communities.
He said Rahul Gandhi had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging that the country's highest civilian honour be conferred on Kanshi Ram posthumously.
Munjani said honouring Kanshi Ram with the Bharat Ratna would be a tribute to his contribution in mobilising Dalits, tribals and backward communities and strengthening the movement for social justice.
