PM's "Infiltrator" Jab At Hemant Soren's Party, Congress In Jharkhand Rally

Prime Minister Modi said the coalition government of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Congress and RJD are "supporters of Bangladesh infiltrators".

Launching a scathing attack on the incumbent Hemant Soren government a week ahead of Jharkhand Assembly polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said it put appeasement at the top of its agenda.

Addressing a rally in Jharkhand's Garhwa, the Prime Minister said the coalition government of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Congress and RJD are "supporters of Bangladesh infiltrators". "The JMM-RJD-Congress government has taken appeasement to its peak. These parties are destroying the state's social harmony. They are supporters of infiltrators. To get votes of Bangladesh infiltrators, they are getting them settled across Jharkhand," he said.

"When schools disallow Saraswati Vandana, you can imagine how big the danger is. When there is stone-pelting during festivals, Maa Durga is stopped and curfew is imposed, you know how dangerous it is. When the issue of infiltration goes to court and the administration denies, it become clear that the government machinery has been infiltrated. They are taking your roti, beti and maati," the Prime Minister said. He was referring to allegations that a Muslim teacher stopped prayers to Goddess Saraswati at a school in Jharkhand's Giridih.
