BJP Leader Alleges Land Jihad in Mumbais Antop Hill Over Occupied Flats
Kirit Somaiya claims Bangladeshi infiltrators have taken over 110 MHADA flats in Antop Hill, demanding an investigation into the allegations.
Mumbai, November 11 (Daily Kiran) : Kirit Somaiya, a leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has raised serious allegations of ‘land jihad’ in Mumbai’s Antop Hill area. He claims that 110 flats managed by the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) have been illegally occupied by Bangladeshi infiltrators. Somaiya has filed a complaint with evidence and is demanding an investigation into the matter.
According to Somaiya, these flats, intended for low-income groups (LIG) and economically weaker sections (EWS), were originally applied for in the names of Hindus. However, he asserts that the actual beneficiaries are Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators holding ‘Power of Attorney’ documents.
He provided specific examples, stating that while the original allotment was made to individuals like Avinash Ravidhone, the flat is now occupied by Mansuri Junaid Mohammad. Other names mentioned include Shakeel Ahmed Siddiqui, Nasreen Ramzan Sheikh, Munira Rizwan, and several others who are allegedly occupying the properties.
Somaiya accused the perpetrators of deceitfully obtaining these flats by applying under Hindu names. He emphasized the need for an investigation, stating, “I have lodged a complaint with MHADA and the ministers, along with evidence. I demand a thorough inquiry and action.”
In a letter to Milind Borikar, the Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of MHADA, Somaiya mentioned that over 50 residents from the Noor Bazar MHADA housing complex had approached him with complaints. They expressed concerns about encroachment, illegal occupation, the presence of infiltrators, and threats from local goons. He urged MHADA to investigate these issues immediately.
Somaiya expressed his outrage over the alleged collusion between corrupt MHADA officials, agents, Bangladeshi infiltrators, and certain individuals within the Muslim community, stating that they have undermined a government project meant for the people of Maharashtra. He plans to visit the site on Saturday, November 14, to assess the situation firsthand.
