The issue of changing demography in the tribal areas of Jharkhand has been surrounded by controversies. In recent times there has been more concern over this matter. The present Hemant Soren government is following a questionable policy on this matter. This is an issue regarding which the state government has filed an affidavit in the High Court. The court itself has expressed apprehension about this affidavit.
In this context, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has also given a big statement on Sunday. That is enough to directly bring JMM under suspicion. Amit Shah says that Hemant Soren’s government is encouraging infiltrators. Our government will not spare the infiltrators if they come. I will tell the infiltrators that their days of sleeping peacefully are over.
Is Hemant Soren government standing to welcome unauthorized infiltrators? This is not the first time that the JMM government is facing criticism for supporting illegal infiltrators in Jharkhand. Critics have been claiming that the present administration is knowingly or unknowingly engaged in allowing unauthorized people to live here. This is not only putting law and order at risk, but it is also affecting the culture here and especially the equation of local voters is also changing.
The threat to the country’s security is increasing from illegal infiltrators! Not only political parties, some social workers have also claimed that the attitude of the current government has encouraged infiltration, especially in sensitive border areas. There have been allegations that due to the lax attitude of the administration, illegal infiltrators are obtaining the necessary documents, which is making it difficult to expose them. This is not only dangerous from the point of view of the possibility of the identity of the tribals getting erased, but it is also putting the security of the country in danger. People are still scared of the government’s attitude on Ankita murder case! The people of Jharkhand and the country have still not forgotten the Ankita murder case. Not only was he tortured to death, but he was also accused of allegedly trying to forcibly convert him to Islam. This is just an example, which is enough to describe the current legal situation in Jharkhand. The attitude of the Soren government towards this massacre has also been under question.
There is a possibility that the attitude of JMM government will increase the morale of infiltrators! There have been apprehensions that the state government’s stance may indirectly encourage those infiltrating the state with ill intentions to exploit the state’s resources without any accountability. Jharkhand is being cheated because of vote bank politics? Naturally, if the issue of such illegal infiltrators is deliberately ignored by the government machinery, then vote bank politics can be a major reason behind it. However, from the JMM government, from the court of law to the public court, only one rote answer is given that there is no issue like illegal infiltrators. But, according to a report in the English newspaper Hindustan Times, the way the District Magistrate of Sahibganj has accepted that since 2017, 4 Bangladeshi infiltrators have been caught and ‘no one can deny the demographic change in this area’, Hemant Soren government’s That’s enough to expose.
The most bitter truth of the demographic change in Jharkhand is told by Bhognadih, the village of the great Santhal revolutionaries Sidho-Kanhu. Where, now tribals have become minority and Muslims have become majority. The special thing is that this village is a part of Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s constituency Berhat.
