BD Infiltration: BJP’s Nishikant Dubey demands new UT from WB & Jharkhand to save Hindus.

‘Hindus will disappear’: BJP MP Nishikanta Dubey wants new union territory carved out of West Bengal, Jharkhand.

Shrinath Sarna | HENB | New Delhi | July 26, 2024:: On Thursday, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey demanded that parts of Jharkhand and West Bengal be declared a union territory to deal with the challenges posed by illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. He also demanded the implementation of Assam-like NRC in the region.

MP from Godda parliamentary constituency of Jharkhand, Nishikanta  Dubey claimed if some measures were not taken to stop this illegal migration, Hindus would disappear from these places.

Dubey raised the demand for union territory with five districts of Bengal and Bihar. Nishikant Duber demands a separate union territory with Maldah, Murshidabad, Kishanganj, Araria and Katihar. As a result of the Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators, the demography of these five districts have changed drastically.

“The state I come from, from Santhal Pargana area – when Santhal Pargana separated from Bihar and became a part of Jharkhand, in 2000 tribals formed 36% of the population in Santhal Pargana. Today, their population is 26%. Where did 10% of the tribals vanish? This House never worries about them, it indulges in vote bank politics,” he said.

He claimed Muslim  intruders from Bangladesh are marrying tribal women.

“There are 100 tribal ‘mukhiya’ in our area but their husbands are Muslims…Riots broke out in Pakur’s Taranagar-Ilami and Dagapara because people from Malda and Murshidabad were ousting our people and Hindu villages were going empty. This is a serious matter. I am saying this on record, I am ready to resign if what I am saying is incorrect. Jharkhand Police is unable to do anything…Kishanganj, Araria, Katihar, Malda, and Murshidabad should be made a union territory, otherwise, Hindus will disappear, and implement NRC. If nothing else, send a Committee of the House there and implement the report of the Law Commission from 2010 that permission is essential for conversion and marriage,” he said.

Dubey urged not to take the matter as communal rift and and said the issue wasn’t about Hindus versus Muslims but the illegal settlement of outsiders in the region.

The Trinamool Congress MPs objected to Nishikant Dubey’s remarks. It said the BJP MP raised a divisive issue.

“Our CM Mamata Banerjee has categorically said – we will not allow these issues (NRC) to be implemented…Today, Nishikant Dubey was raising the question of Hindu-Muslim…We lodged a huge protest and we told the Speaker to see that this is expunged from the proceedings,” said TMC MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay.
