Shivraj Chouhan infiltration statement

Maa, Beti, Roti in Danger Due to Infiltration in Jharkhand: On Friday, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan attacked the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-led alliance in connection with the upcoming elections, and said that ‘mati, beti, roti’ (land, daughter, and bread) was under threat in the state due to extensive infiltration from Bangladesh.

The seasoned politician from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), who also supervises the party’s Jharkhand elections, remarked that the Congress party does not cross-check the National Conference’s state in charge’s, Gulam Ahmed Mir’s statement who allegedly stated that the people’s Democratic party if voted to power will give gas cylinders to all including the infiltrators.

“These tribal leaders had made the supreme sacrifice to save ‘jal, jungle, jameen’ (water, forest and land). But now, that land of tribal martyrs is in danger because of illegal infiltrators who were grabbing land and playing with the honour of tribal women,” PTI quoted Chouhan as saying in Deoghar.

"Adivasis became minorities in several villages in the Santhal Pargana region, including that of martyrs Sidho and Kanhu in Dumka's BhognadihIt is a now or never situation. So, it is not an ordinary election, not to elect a new government, but an election for Mati, Beti and Roti which are at stake due to illegal infiltration,” he said.

“As soon as the government is formed, from December 1, the price of a gas cylinder will be just ₹450 for everyone, whether he is Hindu, Muslim, or an infiltrator,” Mir said in a viral video, according to PTI.

Referring to Mir's promise, Chouhan said,"They have been blaming BJP for playing divisive politics but the fact was admitted by none other than Congress' in charge of Jharkhand."

Speaking in Hindi, the BJP leader expressed his dismay at the fact that even recent statements made by Mir on Thursday had not received any censure or repudiation from Congerss leaders including Soniya Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and president Mallikarjun Kharge.

“No action was taken against infiltrators though the Special Branch had issued a circular cautioning the police about their activities,” the former Madhya Pradesh chief minister alleged.

Chouhan asked, “Are they not traitors? Is patronising and providing facilities to infiltrators a Congress agenda? Do they have rights to our mineral reserves? Did the Congress and JMM strike a deal with infiltrators to grab tribal land and play with the honour of tribal women?” They should make their stand clear, the BJP leader said.

The first phase of voting for the Jharkhand elections has occurred on November 13. The next phase of election is set to take place on November 20. The votes counting exercise will happen on November 23.
