Huge Muslim infiltration from Bangladesh is changing the Hindu demography in Jharkhand.

PIL says, ‘Huge infiltration from Bangladesh is changing the demography in Jharkhand’. Jharkhand High Court seeks clarification from Central Govt on action against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants under CAA.

Udaypratap Singh | HENB | Ranchi | April 10, 2024:: The Jharkhand High Court takes strong cognizance during hearing on illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators destroying demography of state, asks Centre to file affidavit on GOI stand & solution after state govt shreds responsibility.

Jharkhand govt accepts 13-15 lakh illegal infiltrators in the state. As per petitioner, major infiltration in 5 districts is causing law and order situation, increase of  Love Jihad  at rapid pace with tribal Hindu girls including the establishment of  Madrasas at a rampant pace.

In a significant development, the Jharkhand High Court has requested a response from the Central Government regarding the applicability of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) towards the illegal Bangladeshi immigrants residing in the Santhal Pargana region of Jharkhand. This inquiry was made during the hearing of a public interest litigation (PIL) filed in the court, which demanded action against the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh living in the state under the provisions of CAA.

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which was recently implemented, aims to provide citizenship to non-Muslim immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan who entered India on or before December 31, 2014, without proper documentation. The bench comprising Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad and Justice Arun Kumar Rai was addressing the PIL, which raised concerns about the infiltration of Bangladeshi nationals into the state.

The petitioner of the PIL, Danyaal Danish, highlighted  that illegal immigrants from Bangladesh have been residing in the districts of Godda, Jamtara,  Pakur, Dumka, and Sahibganj within the Santhal Pargana region of Jharkhand. He alleged that these immigrants have established madrasas and settlements in five districts of Jharkhand, causing  distress to the local tribal population.

Speaking to  News 18 Bihar-Jharkhand, Petitioner Danish said,  “The State of Jharkhand accepted that there are 13-15 lakh illegal infiltrators in the state. And, the responsibility to take action mainly lies on the Central Govt who holds the power to exert upon Passport and CAA matters.”

Most infiltrators from Bangladesh are from Muslim community. It is also alleged that a good number of Rohingya Muslims also took refuge in Jharkhand. The Hindu demography is at a stake in Jharkhand.

The next hearing of the case is fixed on May 2, 2024.
