Mumbai, August 30: Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren has accused CM Hemant Soren-led state government of neglecting the issue of infiltration by Bangladesh nationals in Jharkhand. In a recent post on X, Champai Soren said the ruling INDIA bloc is not paying enough attention to issues related to tribal identity and security in Jharkhand. He quit the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) earlier this week.

In his post made on August 27, Champai Soren described Bangladeshi infiltration as a “big problem” in the Santhal Pargana region. "What can be more unfortunate than the fact that these infiltrators are occupying the lands of the descendants of those heroes who never accepted slavery of the foreign British in the fight for water, forest and land. Because of them, the dignity of our mothers, sisters and daughters who consider brave women like Phool-Jhano as their ideal is in danger," he wrote. Champai Soren Slams Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren, INDIA Bloc for Calling BJP Anti-Tribal, Says ‘I Don’t Take These Seriously’.

"If these intruders, who are causing economic and social harm to the tribals and natives, are not stopped, the existence of our society in Santhal Pargana will be in danger. In many areas including Pakur, Rajmahal, their number has become more than that of tribals," the former Chief Minister added. He stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, is genuinely committed to addressing these challenges. Champai Soren Quits JMM: Former Jharkhand CM Resigns From Primary Membership of Shibu Soren-Led Party; To Join BJP on August 30.
