Ranchi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday accused the Hemant Soren-led government in Jharkhand of according a red-carpet welcome to Bangladeshi infiltrators. Amit Shah held an election rally at Potka in East Singhbhum and said such forces would be deported as soon as the BJP formed government in the state.

He also charged the Congress and JMM of spreading lies that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will claim tribal rights making it clear that the saffron party will put tribals out of its ambit.

“The JMM-led coalition has laid out the red carpet for Bangladeshi infiltrators, who settle in Jharkhand and grab tribal land, employment of youths and indulge in anti-national activities. Let the BJP regime form. They will be deported and not a bird will be allowed to cross the border,” Shah said at an election rally at Potka in East Singhbhum.

He declared that the saffron party would put corrupt Congress and JMM leaders behind bars, and realise every paisa of poor people they looted.
