'JMM aligning with Bangladeshis and Rohingyas, hurting tribal interests': Modi in Jamshedpur rally
Jamshedpur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a blistering attack on the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), accusing the party of aligning with the Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators and compromising the interests of the tribals.
Speaking at a rally in Jamshedpur, the prime minister expressed concern over the “rapid decline of the Adivasi population in Santhal Pargana".
Land is being seized, infiltrators are taking control of Panchayat positions, and crimes against women are on the rise, he said.
He added that every resident of Jharkhand feels unsafe due to the presence of these infiltrators.
PM Modi accused the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) of betraying tribal communities, asserting that those who came to power with "the votes of the tribals" are now siding with those who have "taken over the forest lands" belonging to these very communities.
“The JMM is standing with Bangladeshis and Rohingyas... These infiltrators and extremists are taking over the JMM... This has happened because the ghost of Congress has entered the JMM... When the ghost of Congress enters any party, then appeasement becomes the only agenda of that party... These parties want to form their vote bank based on religion,” he was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
“The parents of young daughters are worried. 2-3 days ago, Jharkhand High Court ordered an independent panel to investigate the infiltration. But the JMM government is not ready to admit that there is infiltration in Jharkhand. Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltration is a huge problem in Santhal Pargana and Kolhan. The demography of the whole region is changing rapidly,” ANI quoted Modi as saying.
PM Modi labelled the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) as the state's "three biggest enemies."
He accused the RJD of still seeking "revenge" for Jharkhand's creation and claimed that Congress has always "hated" the state.
“The RJD still seeks revenge from Jharkhand for its formation. And the Congress hates Jharkhand. Congress ruled the country from Delhi for so many decades but did not let backwards, Adivasi and Dalits come forward. The JMM came ahead in politics using Adivasi votes. But today they are standing with those who took over the jungles of the Adivasis,” Modi said.
“It is time to bid farewell to JMM that looted mines, minerals, Army land. Congress' school of corruption has trained the JMM government,” PTI quoted Modi as saying.
