Flush out illegal immigrants from Hyd'bad, demands BJP
Hyderabad: BJP Telangana pitched for immediate identification of Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals in the state capital and urged to deport them against the backdrop of the Pahalgam terror attack.
Addressing the media on Thursday, State BJP vice-president and former MLA Dr NVSS Prabhakar demanded the State government to direct the police and give them a free hand to evict foreign nationals allegedly living beyond the expiry of their visas, and Bangladeshi citizens illegally entering the country and living in the Old City.
He alleged that the AIMIM has been in alliance with the BRS party for some time. Now it is working with the Congress, which is in power. It is seen that the police are rendered helpless to take stringent action in many cases to carry out raids and arrest the Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals, he added.
The BJP leader recalled that the NIA and IB have issued warnings on many occasions that there are sleeper cells in Hyderabad. 'As an immediate precautionary measure, we demand the state government to demolish the sleeper cells illegally residing in the Old City of Hyderabad,' he demanded.
He said the lesson that needs to be learnt from the Pahalgam attack is that political and opportunistic alliances should not put the lives of people at risk.
'The Pahalgam terror incident has shaken the country. At this juncture, the central government has announced some tough decisions. The people of India believe that the organisations, individuals and neighboring countries that instigated terrorism will definitely have to pay the price,' he said.

Anti-India Yunus gets rebuked by PM Modi, wanted him to stop Sheikh Hasina from...
Shameless Muhammad Yunus gets rebuked by PM Modi, wanted him to stop Sheikh Hasina from... Bangladesh Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus was left red faced when he wanted Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene in stopping Sheikh Hasina from making statements. Muhammad Yunus who said that his interim government wanted good relations with India, but 'something always went wrong', claimed that Prime Minister Modi told him that Hasina's social media activities cannot be controlled. On being questioned about the 'unclear role of India' about Hasina, Yunus responded: 'All the anger (against Hasina) has now transferred to India because she went there.' 'When I had a chance to talk to Prime Minister Modi, I simply said: you want to host her, I cannot force you to abandon that policy. But please help us in making sure she doesn't speak to Bangladeshi people the way she is doing (online). She announces on such and such date, such and such hour, she will speak and the whole (of) Bangladesh gets very angry,' he said. On Sheikh Hasina's extradition, 'This will continue… we want the whole process to be very legal, very proper… We want to build the best of relationship with India. It's our neighbour, we don't want to have any kind of basic problem with them,' Yunus said. 'But somehow things go wrong every time because of all the fake news coming from the Indian press… and many people say it has connections with policymakers on the top,' he said. 'So, this is what makes Bangladesh very jittery, very, very angry. We try to get over this anger but a whole barrage of things keeps happening in cyberspace. We can't just get away from that… suddenly they say something, do something, anger comes back,' he said.

Bangladesh's Yunus claims he had appealed to PM Modi over Sheikh Hasina's online speeches, citing ‘unrest'
Bangladesh Chief Adviser and head of the country's interim government Muhammad Yunus, while expressing frustration over comments made by former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's statements from India, claimed that he had reached out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to intervene and stop her from addressing Bangladeshis. Yunus claimed that her online speeches were provocative and risked inciting unrest in the country. While speaking to Chatham House think tank director Bronwen Maddox in London on Wednesday (June 11), Yunus said: 'All the anger (against Hasina) has now transferred to India because she went there. When I had a chance to talk to Prime Minister Modi, I simply said: you want to host her, I cannot force you to abandon that policy. But please help us in making sure she doesn't speak to Bangladeshi people the way she is doing (online).' Hasina, who was forced to flee Bangladesh in August 2024 following student-led protests against a government job quota system that escalated to violent clashes and unrest, was given refuge by India. 'She announces on such and such day at such and such hour, she will speak, and the whole of Bangladesh gets very angry, the way she is speaking. Why is she keeping this whole anger thing inside of us now? And is India doing what you asked? No. Mr Modi's answer, I quote, he said, 'It's the social media, we cannot control it',' the Bangladesh interim leader claimed. 'What can you say? It's an explosive situation. You can't just walk away by saying it's social media. So, this is what is still going on,' he added, describing the current political climate in the country as 'volatile'. On India-Bangladesh ties Yunus, during the interaction, also made a mention of the informal diplomatic note issued to India seeking Hasina's extradition. 'This will continue… we want the whole process to be very legal, very proper… We want to build the best of relationship with India. It's our neighbour, we don't want to have any kind of basic problem with them,' Yunus said. The diplomatic ties between New Delhi and Dhaka hit a new low following Hasina's ouster in August 2024, who took refuge in India. This also comes after the prosecutors with Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal charged Hasina with crimes against humanity, alleging her role in ordering mass killings during a nationwide uprising in July. The charges, submitted by Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam and his team, accuse Hasina of being the chief instigator behind the violent crackdown that unfolded during the July and August unrest, according to The Dhaka Tribune.

B'desh wanted good ties with India, but something always went wrong: Yunus
Bangladesh Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has said that his interim government wanted good relations with India, but "something always went wrong". During an interaction with Chatham House think tank director Bronwen Maddox in London on Wednesday, Yunus addressed a wide range of issues including bilateral ties with India and the democratic roadmap for the country, starting with a July Charter next month. Maddox referenced an informal diplomatic note issued to India seeking deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina's extradition and sought an update on the matter. This will continue we want the whole process to be very legal, very proper We want to build the best of relationship with India. It's our neighbour, we don't want to have any kind of basic problem with them, Yunus said. But somehow things go wrong every time because of all the fake news coming from the Indian press and many people say it has connections with policymakers on the top," he said. "So, this is what makes Bangladesh very jittery, very, very angry. We try to get over this anger but a whole barrage of things keeps happening in cyberspace. We can't just get away from that suddenly they say something, do something, anger comes back, he said. This is our big task, to make sure we can have at least a peaceful life to go on with our life. To create the life we are dreaming of, he added. On an audience question about the unclear role of India about Hasina, Yunus responded: All the anger (against Hasina) has now transferred to India because she went there. When I had a chance to talk to Prime Minister Modi, I simply said: you want to host her, I cannot force you to abandon that policy. But please help us in making sure she doesn't speak to Bangladeshi people the way she is doing (online). She announces on such and such date, such and such hour, she will speak and the whole (of) Bangladesh gets very angry, he said. Yunus claimed Prime Minister Modi told him that Hasina's social media activities cannot be controlled. It's (an) explosive situation, you can't just walk away by saying it's the social media, he added. The close ties between India and Bangladesh came under strain after Hasina's ouster. She faces multiple cases in Bangladesh after being ousted on August 5 last year following a major student-led agitation in the country, which forced her to flee Dhaka. Yunus, the 84-year-old Nobel Laureate, who took over as the head of an interim government in Bangladesh in August last year, announced last week that national elections will be held by the first half of 2026. Asked if he would consider being part of the elected government, Yunus replied: No way. He arrived on Tuesday for a four-day visit to the UK, where he was greeted with protests by Hasina's Awami League party members in the UK. He is expected to meet King Charles III and senior members of the British government during the visit.
