During the Zero Hour, Nishikant Dubey had claimed that if some measures were not taken to stop this illegal migration, Hindus would disappear from these places.
“There are 100 tribal ‘mukhiya’ in our area but their husbands are Muslims...Riots broke out in Pakur's Taranagar-Ilami and Dagapara because people from Malda and Murshidabad were ousting our people and Hindu villages were going empty. This is a serious matter. I am saying this on record; I am ready to resign if what I am wrong. Jharkhand Police is unable to do anything...Kishanganj, Araria, Katihar, Malda, and Murshidabad should be made a union territory, otherwise, Hindus will disappear, and implement NRC. If nothing else, send a Committee of the House there and implement the report of the Law Commission from 2010 that permission is essential for conversion and marriage,” he said.
