Laws must be strictly applied against illegal migrants: Bengal MLA Nawsad Siddique
Indian Secular Front (ISF) MLA Nawsad Siddique has called for strict legal action against illegal immigrants following Operation Sindoor, during which over 2,000 alleged illegal Bangladeshi immigrants have reportedly been deported since early May. Emphasising the need for the rule of law, Siddique said, 'Whoever is an illegal citizen in India, whether they are Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Afghanistani, or anyone else, our country is a democracy, we have a Constitution, we have laws, and we all must abide by them. Against illegal migrants, the law should be strictly enforced.' His remarks come amid mounting political pressure on the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal to clarify its stance on the deportations. When asked whether Trinamool would allow illegal Bangladeshi immigrants to stay in Bengal or take action to expel them, Siddique responded cautiously: 'I don't know what they will do. Those who come illegally, the laws that exist in our country should be applied to them strictly.' According to media reports, since the launch of Operation Sindoor on May 7, Indian authorities have deported more than 2,000 alleged illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. The operation followed a nationwide verification drive aimed at identifying undocumented foreign nationals. Many of these individuals, the reports state, were airlifted in Indian Air Force aircraft from various detention centres across the country to border points in eastern India. They were then placed in temporary camps under the custody of the Border Security Force (BSF), where they were given food and provided with Bangladeshi currency if necessary. After brief detention, they were 'pushed back' into Bangladesh. Additionally, Delhi Police have, in a concerted capital-wide drive, identified 470 people as illegal Bangladeshi migrants and another 50 as foreigners who have overstayed and deported them via the land border to Bangladesh.

What Happened The Last Time Rajat Patidar & Shreyas Iyer Faced Off In A T20 Final?
Last Updated: Rajat Patidar and Shreyas Iyer lead their teams in the IPL 2025 final, aiming to end an 18-year title drought. Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar taking on his Punjab Kings counterpart Shreyas Iyer in the final of a T20 league isn't new. Crowned captains for the first time of both the franchises, Patidar and Iyer trumped some of the big names in the game and are now all set to break an 18-year-long title drought. If we rewind around six months, Patidar and Iyer were going head-to-head in the finals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, India's premier domestic tournament. Much like IPL 2025, the duo had taken over captaincy responsibilities afresh in this season, with Patidar replacing Shubham Sharma, and Iyer his senior pro Ajinkya Rahane. Iyer won the toss in the SMAT Final and put Madhya Pradesh in to bat first at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Having been retained by RCB, most of the stands were cheering for Patidar. But MP were reduced to 6/2 in just the second over as Shardul Thakur picked both the openers. Subhranshu Senapati and Harpreet Singh then added 42 runs for the third wicket before the latter was dismissed by Atharva Ankolekar in the eighth over. MP were soon reduced to 84/4 before Patidar and Venkatesh Iyer added 32 runs for the fifth wicket. The latter was dismissed by Suryansh Shedge in the 13th over, followed by a 56-run partnership for the sixth wicket between Patidar and Rahul Batham. After the latter was dismissed by Royston Dias in the 18th over, MP couldn't build any more partnerships and managed to post 174/8 in their 20 overs, with Patidar scoring a 40-ball 81, at a stunning strike rate of 202.5. In the chase, Mumbai lost Prithvi Shaw in the second over. Rahane and Shreyas then added 32 runs for the second wicket before the latter was dismissed by Tripuresh Singh in the fifth over. Rahane and Suryakumar Yadav then built a match-winning 52-run partnership for the third wicket before Venkatesh dismissed the former in the 12th over. Mumbai were soon reduced to 129/5 in the 15th over, before Ankolekar and Shedge added 41 runs for the sixth wicket to take their team over the line and bag the trophy.
