Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren has strongly criticized the Hemant Soren government over the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators. He has been appointed as the main coordinator of the newly formed organization ‘Adivasi Sanvata Susar Akhada’, which fights against illegal migration and land encroachment by infiltrators.
On March 17, hundreds of tribals in Saraikela district joined this organization. During the event, Champai Soren raised concerns about the illegal occupation of tribal lands and forced religious conversions.
Protecting Tribal Traditions in Jharkhand, Bengal, and Odisha
The ‘Adivasi Sanvata Susar Akhada’ organization is expanding in Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Odisha. Its main goal is to:
- Protect tribal traditions and customs.
- Stop religious conversions of tribals.
- Fight against Bangladeshi infiltrators who are occupying tribal lands.
Champai Soren said that the organization’s mission is highly commendable and much needed.
Over 100 Acres of Land Encroached by Infiltrators
He alleged that:
- In the Bangoda region of Saraikela district, infiltrators have illegally occupied more than 100 acres of tribal land.
- In the Kandra forest region, Santhali tribals are being tricked into religious conversion.
A Warning to the Government
Champai Soren warned that:
- Tribal youth from Jharkhand, Bengal, and Odisha will unite to protect their culture.
- A massive protest will soon be launched against the government.
- The consequences of ignoring this issue will be serious.
Criticism of Hemant Soren Government
Champai Soren expressed grief over recent violent incidents in Jharkhand, including the Jagannathpur and Giridih incidents. He blamed the Hemant Soren government for:
- Failing to provide security to Jharkhand residents.
- Neglecting law enforcement, which led to communal tensions.
Government Failing on All Fronts
Champai Soren accused the government of failing in every sector:
- Pension delays for senior citizens.
- Incomplete welfare schemes like the Maiya Samman Yojana.
- Lack of safety for tribal children, referring to recent tragic deaths.
He said the state government must act immediately, or tribals will take matters into their own hands.
