Is the JMM government sheltering illegal Immigrants..!?
The jharkhand government, led by hemant Soren, data-faces criticism for allegedly supporting unauthorized infiltrators, sparking concerns over demographic shifts in tribal areas. Recently, Union home minister amit shah accused the government of encouraging infiltrators, vowing to take action if his government comes to power.
Key Concerns:
- Demographic Shifts: Tribal populations becoming minorities in their own villages, such as Bhognadih, where Muslims now hold a majority.
- National Security: Lenient policies allegedly enable illegal immigrants to secure official documents, posing a threat to indigenous communities and national security.
- Law and Order: The Ankita murder case highlights the state's handling of law and order, with concerns over forced conversions and exploitation.


However, critics argue that these claims are exaggerated and misinformed. According to census data, the Adivasi population in jharkhand decreased from 36% in 1951 to 26.21% in 2011, while the Muslim population increased from 12.18% to 14.53% during the same period.


Debunking BJP's Claims:
- No Large-Scale Bangladeshi Infiltration: Census data shows a minimal increase in the Muslim population, contradicting BJP's claims of massive infiltration.
- Adivasi population Decline: Mainly due to migration, displacement, and lower population growth rates.
- love Jihad: Inter-religion marriages account for only 5.7% of total marriages in Jharkhand.
