Assam Police Detain 6 Illegal Bangladeshi Migrants In Karimganj; CM Sarma Calls It 'Strike On Infiltration'

Six Bangladeshi infiltrators were arrested in Assam, prompting Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to hail the Assam police's action.

Six illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators were arrested in the Karimganj district of Assam on Tuesday night. Hailing the action of Assam police, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the arrests were a strike on "illegal infiltration".

The arrested were identified as Tarique Anowar, Dayal Mall, Monu Mall, Shajahan Mia, Jainab Sapuria, and Khalimur Mall.

The illegal Bangladeshi influx issue has gained momentum amid the Jharkhand Assembly elections. Himanta Biswa Sarma, who is also a Bharatiya Janata Party's co-in-charge for the Jharkhand Assembly elections, has consistently attacked the Hemant Soren-led government, accusing it of promoting Bangladeshis for vote-bank politics.

Tribal Population In Jharkhand Is Decreasing: Himanta Biswa Sarma 

In his election rallies in Jharkhand, he said that he didn't want to see the state facing the issue of illegal migrations as in Assam.

He has repeatedly said that there has been a surge in the Muslim population in Jharkhand, owing to the influx. Due to this, the tribal population in Jharkhand is decreasing. 

"Not every Muslim is an infiltrator but how is the population of Muslims increasing every 5 years? Is a family giving birth to 10-12 children? If families are not giving birth to so many children, then definitely people are coming from outside. This is simple mathematics," Sarma said.

Sarma earlier claimed that the tribal population in the Santhal Pargana division in eastern Jharkhand has come down from 44% to 28% due to Bangladeshi infiltration.
