‘Language gives them away’: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s call against ‘infiltrators’; urges people to ‘detect, report’ them

'Language gives them away': RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's call against 'infiltrators'; urges people to 'detect, report' them

NEW DELHI: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday warned against “infiltrators” in the country, asserting that their “language” reveals their identity. The Hindu outfit chief, however, did not specify any particular language for their identification. He hailed the ongoing controversial special intensive revision (SIR) by the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government in the poll bound states which has drawn citicism from the opposition parties alleging deletion of voters.Bhagwat further urged the people to “detect” the infiltrators and report them to the police and avoid giving them employment.”The government has a lot to do regarding infiltration. They have to detect and deport. This wasn’t happening until now, but it has started little by little, and it will gradually increase. When the census or the SIR is conducted, many people come to light who are not citizens of this country; they are automatically excluded from the process,” he said.”But we can do one thing: we can work on detection. Their language gives them away. We should detect them and report them to the appropriate authorities. We should inform the police that we suspect these people are foreigners, and they should investigate and keep an eye on them, and we will also keep an eye on them. We will not give employment to any foreigner. If someone is from our country, we will give them employment, but not to foreigners. You should be a little more vigilant and aware,” he added.He was speaking at the two-day lecture series on ‘100 Years Of Sangh Journey – New Horizons’ in Mumbai.The issue of infiltration has recently become a flashpoint in politics, particularly in West Bengal and Assam. Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee has challenged the Supreme Court over the SIR of voter lists, calling it a tool of harassment. The Election Commission, however, has maintained that the exercise is crucial to removing illegal voters, including alleged Bangladeshi infiltrators—a point on which the BJP has accused Banerjee of turning a blind eye. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has repeatedly criticized the state leadership, arguing that while other nations take strict measures against illegal residents, political calculations in Bengal are endangering citizens and undermining the future of the state’s youth.
