Before the 2024 elections in Jharkhand, changes in the populations of people living in tribal areas have become a more controversial topic. In the past few years, worries have grown because of what many people see as the government of Hemant Soren’s questionable policies. The documents that the Jharkhand government sent to the High Court about this case have even made judges nervous.
In this situation, what Union Home Minister Amit Shah said recently directly calls into question the INDIA Bloc government run by JMM. Shah said, “Hemant Soren’s government is encouraging people to sneak in.” We won’t spare them if our party wins. I want to tell those who are sneaking in to stop sleeping soundly.
Is the Hemant Soren government helping people who aren’t supposed to be there?
It’s not the first time that the JMM government has been criticized for supposedly helping people who are in Jharkhand illegally. Critics say that the current government is letting people who aren’t supposed to be there stay in the state, whether they know it or not. This is not only affecting law and order, but it is also changing the mindset of the area and making it harder to vote.
What’s at risk to national security
Concerns have been raised by political leaders and social campaigners that the way the government is handling things has made it easier for people to sneak in, especially in sensitive border areas. There are still claims that lax enforcement strategies let illegal aliens get official papers, which makes it harder to find them. People see this as a threat to both the safety of the country and the special identities of indigenous groups.
The Ankita murder case shows how the law works in the state.
People are still very angry about the Ankita murder case. It was said that she was abused and killed, and that she was also tried to convert against her will. The way the state government handled this case has been harshly criticized, and it’s a worrying sign of how law and order are in Jharkhand right now.
Concerns that the JMM’s position may give infiltrators more power
More and more people are worried that the administration’s position could indirectly give people who want to do harm more confidence to use the state’s resources without being held responsible.
Betrayal of Jharkhand by Vote Bank Politics?
Some people say that the government may not care about the problem of illegal immigrants on purpose because they want to win votes. The JMM has always played down the matter, saying there is no problem with illegal immigrants. A recent article in the Hindustan Times, on the other hand, said that Sahibganj’s district judge admitted that four Bangladeshi infiltrators had been arrested since 2017 and that the area’s population had changed, which has made people look more closely at the Soren government.
Bhognadih, the village of famous Santhal rebels Sidho and Kanho, is a stark example of how populations can change quickly. In this village, the native people are now in the minority, with Muslims making up the majority. This is a big change, especially since the village is in Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s Barhait district.
