I am telling you this because it hasn't happened because of the fertility rate. It has happened because of infiltration,” Shah was quoted as saying by PTI.&nbsp;He also highlighted the fall of Hindu population in Islamic countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, by saying, "The decline in the Hindu population in these countries was not due to conversion; many of them have sought refuge in India," said Shah speaking at the event.&nbsp;Also Reasd:<a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/india-distances-itself-from-taliban-minister-s-delhi-press-conference-where-no-women-journalists-were-allowed-1760162629966"> India distances itself from Taliban minister's Delhi press conference, where no women journalists were allowed</a>&nbsp;Shah then goes on to say that during partition Pakistan was formed on both sides of India from where infiltration kept happening, leading to significant change in the population of the country.He then vowed to "detect the infiltrators" and deport them from India.&nbsp;“The BJP has adopted the formula of detect, delete, and deport since the 1950s.

He also highlighted the fall of Hindu population in Islamic countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan is not because of conversion but due to Hindus taking refuge in India out of fear.
