There is no mention anywhere in the Government of India and their authorities that Bangladeshi people are coming and living in Santhal Pargana area, in that affidavit, Census 2011 has been made a basis,” Bhattacharya said
Centre has filed an affidavit, accepting the presence of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in Jharkhand.
“A state of confusion is being created in Jharkhand. Because elections are coming, BJP does not have any issues, that is why communal demography is being talked about. What kind of game is going on, why is the court being brought into this. And what is going on in the court is being discussed in the party office,” Bhattacharya said.
