RANCHI: The Jharkhand High Court, while hearing a PIL on Thursday seeking probe on Bangladeshi intrusion changing the demography of Santhal Pargana, reprimanded the Centre and asked it to act before it is too late.
Disappointed over the Centre’s failure in filing an affidavit in this regard, the court wondered whether the government would act only after the infiltrators enter the country.
Earlier, on July 3, the court had directed the state government to identify the infiltrators and prepare an action plan to send them back. The PIL has been filed by a Jamshedpur-based social activist, Daniel Danish.
According to the petitioner’s advocate Rajeev Kumar, besides asking the Centre to be more vigilant in light of the coup in Bangladesh, the court also directed the Intelligence Bureau to submit a sealed report in this regard.
