Expressing concern over the prevailing situation in Santal Paragana, the former CM said the adivasi community was bearing the brunt from two sides. While on one hand, the reserved seats are being grabbed by tribals who convert to other religions, Bangladeshi infiltrators are not only grabbing our land but also damaging our social fabric by marrying tribal women, he claimed.Later these infiltrators encroach upon the reservation granted by the constitution through the back door by fielding the same tribal women in local body elections, Soren alleged emphasising the need to stop such practices.Recalling the move of great tribal leader Karthik Oraon, who had tabled a Delisting Bill in Parliament in 1967, which was later referred to a parliamentary committee, he said the committee had also acknowledged that delisting was necessary to preserve the existence of the tribal community.Soren alleged that Congress had delisted the Sarna religion code in 1961.He called upon the youths to gear up for ‘Ulgulan’ (revolution).
