Amit Shah: 100 crore infiltrators entered country, eating it like termites
Delhi, Sept 24: Raising the issue of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, BJP president Amit Shah Sunday said “infiltrators have entered the country” and are “eating it like termites”.
Hitting out at Congress president Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at a rally in Ramlila Maidan, Shah said the two speak out in favour of illegal immigrants because they care only about vote-bank politics. He also asked them to clarify their stand on the NRC, which is being updated in Assam.
Addressing the Purvanchal Mahakumbh event, organised by the Delhi BJP, Shah said, “Delhi ke andar avaidh ghuspethiyon se pareshani hai ya nahin? Inhe desh se nikalna chahiye ya nahin? 100 crore ki tadad mein ghuspethiye ghus gaye hain aur deemak ki tarah chaat gaye hain desh ko. Ukhad phenkna chahiye ya nahi? (Are you bothered because of illegal immigrants in Delhi or not? Should they be thrown out or not? 100 crore infiltrators have entered our country and are eating the country like termites. Should we throw them out or not?) But as we start talking about uprooting them, Rahul Gandhi and others start to crow. They (illegal immigrants) enter here, throw bombs and kill innocent citizens of the country. Should we not protect human rights of our people?”

He also hit out at Kejriwal, saying that he lies and has not done any work for the city. Kejriwal promptly responded on Twitter and challenged Shah to a debate at the same venue. “I challenge you, come let us have a public debate at Ramlila Maidan before the people of Delhi,” he tweeted.
In his half hour speech, Shah further said, “Kejriwal ji in the last four years, what work have you done for the people of Delhi? Delhi’s CM… knows only one thing — to lie and to lie more. There is no vision for the development of Delhi and the party just does politics of protest.” He also said that the BJP will win all seven Lok Sabha seats in the capital.
Listing the work done by the Modi government, he said the BJP government had given Rs 13.80 lakh crore to Poorvanchal states under the 14th Finance Commission, unlike the previous Congress government.
To this, Kejriwal replied in a tweet, “Amit Shah ji, how much money did your government give Delhi under the 14th Finance Commission? Merely Rs 325 crore. People of Purvanchal reside in Delhi also. Why did your government not provide money for their development? Why was there discrimination against the Poorvanchalis living in Delhi?”
Shah also asked the Congress president and the AAP to clear their stand on “urban Naxalism” before the polls. He also criticised the Mahagathbandhan of the opposition parties and asked people to choose between “Majboot Sarkar” or “Majboor Sarkar”.

11-year-old dies by suicide after sexual assault in Bareilly; accused arrested
Bareilly (UP) (PTI): A 26-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl, who later died by suicide due to trauma, police said on Wednesday.
The post-mortem report confirmed sexual assault and multiple injuries on the minor's body, including bite marks and nail scratches. The cause of death was found to be hanging, they said.
According to ASP (South) Anshika Verma, the incident came to light on 27 April, when the girl, a Class 8 student, was found hanging at her home in Deoria Abdullaganj village under the Mirganj police station area. Initially, the family reported the death as suicide and was reluctant to pursue police action.
"The autopsy report changed the course of the investigation. It confirmed sexual assault and noted severe physical trauma. The cause of death was confirmed as hanging," Verma said.
A breakthrough in the case came from the statement of the victim's younger sister, who told police that the accused, Zeeshan (26), a resident of the same village, frequently loitered near the minor's school and allegedly gave her small sums of money to keep his interactions with her a secret, she said.
Police said that on the day of the incident, the accused allegedly lured the minor and assaulted her. Distressed by the incident, the child later took her own life while her mother was away, police said.
"Based on technical surveillance, CCTV footage, and statements from the family, we established Zeeshan's involvement. He was arrested near the Mirganj weekly market on Tuesday," they said.
