Targeting illegals, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey starts Jharkhand tribal student rights campaign

Targeting illegals, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey starts Jharkhand tribal student rights campaign

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has launched a campaign aimed at securing the rights of tribal students in Jharkhand. Dubey's "Bangladeshi Muslim Bhagao, Aadivaasi Bachao" movement aims to address the growing concerns over the alleged infiltration of undocumented immigrants into the region. The MP met with students from six districts in Jharkhand's Santhal Pargana region in Deoghar to raise awareness and advocate for the cause.

The BJP claims that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has successfully removed illegal immigrants from the voter list. Dubey highlighted the population growth of Bangladesh-origin Muslims in Santhal Pargana, stating that it has increased by 17%, compared to a mere 4% growth in the overall Muslim population.

The MP urged the government to take accountability for the alleged theft of the tribal population's rights and resources.
