Meerut (Uttar Pradesh) :
Balraj Dungar, convenor of the Bajrang Dal for Meerut, said on Tuesday
that Bangladeshis living in India must either leave the country or
convert to Hinduism. “Our first demand is that they must leave the
country, as they are abusing our resources. However, if they wish to
live here, they must convert to Hinduism and adapt to the ways of our
life,” he said.
Commenting on the recent instances of ‘ghar wapsi’ in Uttar Pradesh,
Dungar said, “We had been involved in ‘ghar wapsi’ campaigns even during
the UPA regime. This is a continuous, ongoing process,” Dungar said.Dungar said Bangladeshis have taken refuge in India, and continue to live here even 43 years after the Bangladesh war. “They now need to go back,” he said. Told that the illegality of the stay would not change with conversion, Dungar said, “At least they will add to our strength in numbers.”
VHP organisational secretary Sudarshan Chakra, however, said he would not agree with the Bajrang Dal leader.
“Our organization’s agenda does not give any respite to Bangladeshis. As per government statistics, there are around three crore Bangladeshis in India. They must all leave. There is no question of them converting to Hinduism. Because of them, unemployment and crime rates have risen. They indulge in anti-national activities. Despite all that, various governments in the past have been providing them with benefits. They have ration cards and voter IDs. Nothing will legalize their stay in India. They have to go,” Chakra said.
