After sending hundreds of Indian people to Bangladesh without any trial, as officials from both sides have confirmed, workers and advice have condemned the deportation of the new country, saying they are based on illegal and ethnic profiling.

Indian authorities have said that the deported people are non -documentary immigrants.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government has long maintained a strong stand against immigration, especially from Bangladesh, a country with a majority Muslim population. Top Indian officials have described these immigrants as “termites” and “infiltration”.

It has given rise to fear of 200 million Muslims in India, especially Bengali speakers, which is a widely spoken language in both East India and Bangladesh.

“Muslims are frightened, especially from the eastern part of the country,” said experienced Indian rights activist.

“You have thrown millions into this existential fear.”

Bangladesh, which is widely surrounded by India, has turned relations with New Delhi since the massive uprising in 2024, which dropped a former Indian friend Dhaka government.

But as a result of an attack in the West, India increased operations even after a widespread security crackdown against immigrants – 26 people, especially after Hindu tourists were killed in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) on April 22.

New Delhi accused Pakistan of the attack, Islamabad was rejected, which ended a four -day dispute, killing more than 70 people.

Indian authorities have launched a unprecedented security drive across the country in which thousands of people have been detained – and many of them eventually crossed the border toward Bangladesh at gunpoint.

‘We’ll shoot you’

Rahima Begum, who hails from the state of the state of East Assam in India, said police detained him for several days before going to the Bangladesh border.

He said that he and his family have spent their lives in India.

He said, “I’ve spent all my life here – my parents, my grandfather, they are all here.” “I don’t know why they will do this to me.”

Indian police took Begum along with five other people, all Muslims and forced them to Swampland in the dark.

“They showed us a village at a distance and told us to crawl there,” he told AFP.

“They said: ‘Don’t dare to stand and walk, or we will shoot you.”

Begum said that the Bangladeshi locals who found the group after the group were handed over to the Border Police, who “thrown” them and ordered them to return to India.

The 50 -year -old said, “When we approached the border, the other side was fired.

“We thought: ‘This is the end. We are all dead.”

She survived, and, a week later, when she was first picked up, she was dropped back home in Assam with a warning to remain silent.

Bengali -speaking Muslims are being targeted

Rights activists and lawyers criticized India’s campaign as “lawlessness”.

“You cannot deport people unless there is a country to accept them,” said Sanjay Hegde, a Delhi -based civil rights lawyer.

He added that Indian law does not allow people to be deported without any action.

Bangladesh has said that India has pushed more than 1,600 people across its border since May.

The Indian media suggests that the number may increase to 2500.

Bangladesh Border Guards said it had sent back 100 of those who advance the 100 – because they were Indian citizens.

India has been accused of forcibly deporting Rohingya refugees from Myanmar, naval ships are removing them from the coast of the war -torn nation.

According to rights activists, many of the victims of the campaign are Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) laborers in the states administered by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Indian authorities did not answer questions about the number of detained and deported.

But the Chief Minister of Assam State has said that more than 300 people have been deported to Bangladesh.

In addition, the Gujarat police chief said that more than 6,500 people have been surrounded in the western state, both Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.

Many of them were told about being a Bengali -speaking Indian and were later released.

The worker said, “Muslim identity people who are with Bengali speak are being targeted as part of a ideological hate campaign.”

Mason, a 35 -year -old Mason, Nazimuddin Mondal, said that police rushed him to Tripura, a border state on a military plane at the Mumbai financial center and pushed him to Bangladesh.

He managed to cross back, and now he has returned to the West Bengal state of India, where he said he was born.

“Indian security forces defeated us by sticks when we insisted that we are Indian,” Mondal said.

“I showed them the ID issued by my government, but they won’t just listen.”
