Shivraj Singh Chouhan thanked the Prime Minister for his decision to celebrate the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda as `Janjatiya Gaurav Divas`.

Shivraj told ANI, "I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his decision to celebrate the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda as Janjatiya Gaurav Divas. It`s the proper display of valour of our tribal warriors. I thank the Prime Minister for portraying the contributions of numerous freedom fighters correctly."
