*KOLKATA: Indian Ruling party **BJP Chief to throw away 2 crore BangladeshiMuslim infiltrators out of India.*
West Bengal BJP chief and parliamentarian Dilip Ghosh on Tuesday said thatnearly two crore Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators have entered the countryout of which one crore are in his state and remaining 1 crore have spreadacross the country.
”2 crore Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators have entered India. 1 crore arein West Bengal and 1 crore have spread across the country. We will notallow any Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrator to stay here. If their names arein voters’ list then it will be removed,” Ghosh said while addressing apublic rally to create awareness about the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019.
The West Bengal BJP parliamentarian’s statement comes amid ongoing protestsagainst the CAA and National Register of India (NRC) across the country.
Ghosh, while addressing a rally in the North 24 Parganas district onSunday, had said that nearly 50 lakh Muslim infiltrators will be identifiedand chased out of the country if needed.
Attacking West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for opposingCitizenship Amendment law and NRC, Ghosh said, “Firstly, the names ofMuslim infiltrators will be removed from voters` list then didi (inreference to Mamata Banerjee) cannot appease anyone.”
He said there will be a reduction in the number of votes to Banerjee in the2021 state assembly election following the process of removinginfiltrators` names from the voters` list.
“Once this is done, didi`s votes will be reduced and in the comingelections, we will get 200 seats, she will not even get 50 seats,” he said.
Ghosh also made a blistering attack on the opposition parties forsupporting the nationwide anti-CAA and NRC protests and said, “their heartsbleed for infiltrators”.
Ghosh had, last week, sparked controversy by threatening to shoot downthose who damaged public property and accused Banerjee of not taking actionas “they are her voters”.
He later doubled down on his remark by stating that such people “will neverbe spared”.
It may be noted that the Mamata Banerjee government on Tuesday said that itwill bring an anti-CAA resolution in the state assembly on January 27. Thiscame after Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the Centre won’t takeback the citizenship law however hard the opposition might protest.
Addressing a pro-CAA rally at Lucknow, the Home Minister challengedCongress leader Rahul Gandhi, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee,SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and others to hold an open debate with him on thenew legislation. Several protests were held across West Bengal, many ofwhich turned violent and caused damage to public property.
