4. The present Congress Government of Orissa is not satisfied by deprieving adibasis of their age long rights in the Pauri Elakas. They are being terrorised in various ways in order to force them to come down from the Pauri Elakas to the plains but it must be remmembered that the plain lands formerly belonged to the Bhuiyans and other adibasis who first of all reclaimed these jungle plains at a heavy cost of labour and made them cultivable and fit for human habitation. It is true that those living in the plains especially the non-adibasis had driven them away from the land of their ancestors. Poor unfortunate Bhuiyans and other adibasis were forced to take shelter in the jungle and hilltops. Thesc so called civilised people in the plains need labourers to work for them and pressure is being exerted on the government to persuade, threaten or force the adibasis to come down from the jungles to the plains below. What a great wrong? And a great injustice it is? That people should be driven away from their hearth and home again recalled and ensalved! The freedom loving Bhuiyans and Juwangs do not and can never welcome this policy of the government. Their claims is that if they are asked to come down to the plains they must be provided first with their lands from which they were deprieved of by the aggressors.
