Pratul Shah Deo said, “In these elections, Santhal Pargana is very important. Due to the manner in which the Special Branch of the state government provided documents and IDs to infiltrators, they themselves admitted in a letter dated June 2023 that infiltrators are given shelter in Madrasas and Their ID documents are made. So the infringement on the interests of the tribes is the biggest problem here.
He further alleged that the INDIA bloc would take away the rights of tribals if they came to power.
“Congress Jharkhand in-charge Ghulam Ahmad Mir said they would supply cylinders to infiltrators for Rs 450… This is treason. It clearly shows that they would take away the rights of Jharkhandis and tribals and give the same rights. to infiltrators,” he further said.
Earlier, Home Minister Amit Shah addressed a public meeting in Dumka Assembly constituency where he lashed out at the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and Congress for allegedly misleading the tribal community and protecting infiltrators.
Speaking about the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), Shah assured the tribals that they would not be affected by its implementation. He said, “JMM and Congress are spreading rumors in Jharkhand that if UCC comes, tribals will face problems. Tribal brothers and sisters, don’t worry, you will not be included in UCC. You will not face any problem because of UCC.
Shah accused the JMM and Congress of protecting infiltrators, which he said has led to a decline in tribal land and population. He said, “Once you form the BJP government in Jharkhand, we will work to throw out every infiltrator from here.”
