Himanta asks removal of infiltrators from ‘Santhal Pargana’

way2barak, Oct 29: Assam CM and BJP co-in-charge of the Jharkhand election, Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday accused the Hemant Soren led state government of letting “intruders” enter the state and said that the main priority is to throw out infiltrators from Santhal Paragana.

He stated that in the Santhal Pargana, the tribal population is decreasing and the Muslim population is increasing.

“…I ignite fire against infiltrators. Lord Hanuman had also set fire in Lanka. We have to set fire against infiltrators and make Jharkhand a golden land. In Santhal Pargana, the tribal population is decreasing and the Muslim population is increasing. Not every Muslim is an infiltrator but how is the population of Muslims increasing every 5 years? Is a family giving birth to 10-12 children? If families are not giving birth to so many children, then definitely people are coming from outside. This is simple mathematics. We will win the elections but that is not the main priority, it is to throw out infiltrators from Santhal Paragana and justice for women…,” he said.

Elections are being held on 81 seats of the Jharkhand assembly in two phases on November 13 and November 20.
