Assam cab unions threaten stir after CM Himanta's ‘stranger' barb
Three associations of cabbies in Assam have threatened to suspend services if Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma does not withdraw his comment associating ride-share services with 'unknown elements'. On Independence Day, the Chief Minister said many cab drivers associated with Ola and Uber were 'strangers', a term construed to mean people not belonging to Assam. Three organisations – the All-Assam Cab Operators' Union, the Sadou Asom Cab Mazdoor Sangha, and the All-Guwahati Cab Drivers' Union – responded by asking the Chief Minister to retract his statement by the end of August or face an intense stir. 'We will enforce a chakka bandh across the State and hit the streets if the Chief Minister fails to admit his mistake,' the organisations said in a joint statement. It also demanded a 'clear definition' of 'unknown elements'. CM defends statement The Chief Minister defended his statement. 'I spoke only about strangers. If the known people take offence, I cannot help it. Let them stop driving their vehicles. This government is against strangers indulging in fundamentalist activities or politics on sensitive issues in Assam,' he said. On August 19, the Chief Minister raised the issue of 'strangers' again. He said unknown elements from places like Delhi, Mumbai, or Kerala might be arrested if they are found to 'cross limits' in Assam. 'We are keeping a close watch on such people. They came during the updating of the NRC (National Register of Citizens) and disrupted the process. The government did not pay much attention earlier, but we are monitoring every visitor now,' he said. He alleged that 'false kins' were generated for existing residents during the NRC process under the influence of people from outside, including social activist Harsh Mander.

Video: Is the EC bringing in a National Register of Citizens in Bihar through the back door?
Play The Election Commission's decision to undertake a 'special intensive revision' of the electoral rolls in Bihar months before the state election has caused concern in several quarters. The unprecedented process has required at least 29 million out of nearly 79 million Bihari voters to prove that they –and in many cases their parents – were Indian citizens. What does it mean for citizenship, for marginalised communities and for the debate around documentation in India? Is this merely a data exercise, or does it signal something more, possibly a contentious National Register of Citizens being introduced through the backdoor? In this episode of Karwan e Mohabbat's discussion series on the state of the republic, author and peace worker Harsh Mander unpacks the implications of this exercise with political scientist Professor Zoya Hasan and social activist Anjali Bhardwaj. The participants examine the timing, intent, and impact of this sudden revision. The conversation explores how such measures can risk undermining constitutional values and stoking anxieties among vulnerable populations.

Rights activists flag torture of Bengali migrants in BJP-run states
1 2 Kolkata: Rights activists expressed concern over incidents of harassment and torture of migrant workers from Bengal in BJP-governed states. At an event organised by Sangbidhan Bachao Desh Bachao Manch in Kolkata on Tuesday, activists Harsh Mander and Nadeem Khan highlighted reports of illegal detention, police abuse and discrimination against Bengali-speaking migrant workers. Harsh Mander said many Bengali-speaking workers were being detained and tortured by police in Haryana's Gurgaon, Rajasthan's Jaipur, Gujarat's Ahmedabad and pockets of Odisha. "Our Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to move anywhere within the country and earn a livelihood. But there are forces, including BJP and RSS, who disregard the Constitution," said Mander.

"While BJP seeks Bengali votes in Bengal, it is torturing them in states where it holds power." Rights activist Nadeem Khan, co-founder of Association for Protection of Civil Rights, who had earlier visited affected areas in Gurgaon, Jaipur and Ahmedabad, called for stronger intervention from the Bengal govt. "These workers are mostly uneducated and struggle to support their families.

Masiur Rahman, state president of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, said the state govt should create a dedicated department with nodal officers to register migrant workers from Bengal in other states to ensure their safety and protection of their rights. The Bengal govt has already started a helpline for migrant workers facing harassment in other states to help them return.
