According to Marandi, the situation arising in Bangladesh and the hazardous intentions of the fundamentalists are extremely sensitive for the entire country as well as Jharkhand.“Parties like Congress-JMM, which divide the country and society for political gains, have always been seen standing with foreign powers for power. Therefore, in this difficult time, along with the tribal society, the three and a half crore people of Jharkhand also need to remain alert,” he posted on X.Marandi alleged that fundamentalists are pursuing the goal of “Ghazwatul-Hind” (a purported war against non-Muslims) and the establishment of an Islamic Bangladesh following the recent political changes in the neighbouring country.Congress has responded strongly to the allegations made by Marandi, which blamed the ruling alliance for Bangladeshi infiltration in Jharkhand. The party stated that if Marandi’s claims have any merit, he should first demand the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah, who is responsible for managing infiltration issues.“BJP’s ideology has been divisive since beginning…divides the state, the society and the communal harmony of the society, for political benefits. I think before posting it on social media, Marandi ji should have directly sought resignation from Home Minister Amit Shah as it is his responsibility to check infiltration in the country,” said Congress Spokesperson Rakesh Sinha.Raising the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators in the Lok Sabha earlier on July 25, Godda MP Nishikant Dubey had also claimed that the population of Adivasis in the Santhal Pargana region of Jharkhand has declined and demanded that Malda and Murshidabad of West Bengal, Araria and Kishanganj, Katihar of Bihar and Santhal Pargana of Jharkhand be declared a union territory. Dubey had also informed the Parliament that the tribal population was 48% in 1951, but it came down to 36% in 2000, and now 26%.
