Discussion on caste-based census in the Lok Sabha got derailed today with BJP raising the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators, clashing with RJD chief Lalu Prasad who wanted the issue of backwards to take precedence.
Initiating the debate on Census 2011, Ananth Kumar (BJP) raised the issue illegal migrants from Bangladesh getting registered as Indian citizens. He said the matter was related to "internal disturbance and external aggression".
At this, RJD chief Lalu Prasad charged Kumar with propagating BJP's agenda by "repeatedly talking of Pakistan and Bangladesh and ignoring the issue of backwards in the census exercise."
An agitated Kumar then said he would raise the issue suggested by Prasad but would first take up the issue related to national security.
