Owaisi Slams Illegal Immigrant Labeling Of Bengali-Speaking Muslims, Says Targeted Because...
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi criticised the labeling of Bengali-speaking Muslims as 'illegal immigrants" He argued that many of them are among the poorest of the poor, primarily slum‑dwellers, domestic workers, and rag‑pickers. He further exaggerated that the "poor" people have been targeted rapaciously because they are not in a position to challenge police atrocities. "Police in different parts of India have been illegally detaining Bengali-speaking Muslim citizens and accusing them of being Bangladeshi. There have been disturbing reports of Indian citizens being pushed into Bangladesh at gunpoint. This government acts strongly with the weak, and weak with the strong. Most of those who are accused of being 'illegal immigrants' are the poorest of the poor: slum-dwellers, cleaners, domestic workers, rag-pickers, etc. They have been targeted repeatedly because they are not in a position to challenge police atrocities," the AIMIM chief posted on X. "Police do not have the power to detain people just because they speak a particular language. These wide-net detentions are illegal," Owaisi said. He shared a scanned directive from the Office of the District Magistrate in Gurugram in his post on X, which outlines a state government-mandated standard operating procedure (SOP) for identifying and deporting Bangladeshi nationals and Rohingya migrants. Earlier, Assam Minister Atul Bora supported the state's eviction drive against illegal encroachments in tribal areas. He said the move, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, is important to protect tribal land, and praised the CM's visits to districts to monitor the action. Speaking to ANI, Minister Bora said, "We are wholeheartedly supporting this move of the CM. It is there even in my own district, the CM is visiting there today. It is important to do this, wherever the issue persists, because whoever has encroached on the tribal belt and block? Doubtful people. So, this is very important."

'Indian citizens pushed into Bangladesh at gunpoint': Owaisi makes shocking claims; calls detention of Bengali-speaking Muslims 'illegal'
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi (Image credits: ANI) NEW DELHI: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday criticised the detention and deportation of Bengali-speaking Muslim citizens across India, accusing the police administration of unfairly branding them as "illegal immigrants. " Taking a dig at the BJP-led central government, Owaisi alleged it was acting 'strong with the weak" by going after the country's poorest communities. Taking to social media platform X, Owaisi claimed that those being labelled as illegal immigrants were repeatedly targeted because they lacked the means to challenge police atrocities. 'There have been disturbing reports of Indian citizens being pushed into Bangladesh at gunpoint,' said Owaisi in his post. "Police in different parts of India have been illegally detaining Bengali-speaking Muslim citizens and accusing them of being Bangladeshi. This government acts strong with the weak, and weak with the strong.

"Police do not have the power to detain people just because they speak a particular language. These wide-net detentions are illegal," said Owaisi. The AIMIM chief's statement came days after the Pune city police arrested five Bangladeshi women from the Budhwar Peth red-light area. Acting on a specific tip-off, officers from Faraskhana Police Station and the anti-human trafficking unit (AHTU) carried out a raid, reported ANI. The women, aged between 20 and 28, were found residing in India without valid documents and using fake identity cards. Investigations revealed that they had illegally entered India from Bangladesh, posed as West Bengal residents, and were allegedly involved in prostitution in Pune. The operation also exposed a human trafficking network that facilitated their illegal entry and stay in the country. Cases have been filed under the Immigration Act, Passport Act, and relevant provisions of human trafficking laws. Meanwhile, in Assam, the BJP-led state government is continuing its eviction drive against what it calls illegal encroachments on tribal land. State minister Atul Bora voiced full support for the initiative, saying it was essential to protect tribal belts from "doubtful people." The Assam BJP on Tuesday reiterated that eviction drives will continue until all illegally occupied land is cleared, cited ANI.

Halt Goalpara eviction, give land to affected: Cong to CM
1 2 3 4 5 6 Guwahati: Senior Congress leader and leader of the opposition in Assam assembly, Debabrata Saikia, wrote to CM Himanta Biswa Sarma , urging him to stay the eviction in Goalpara and to provide alternate land to those evicted and those yet to be evicted. A total of 667 families were evicted for allegedly encroaching over 600 bighas of land at Hasilabeel village under Balijana revenue circle in lower Assam's Goalpara district. The families mostly belong to the Bengali-speaking Muslim community, officials said. Saikia urged the CM to direct the Goalpara district commissioner not to evict the people until the CM meets with the people of the village on June 18. "We have already stated that we will cooperate with the govt to free the land from encroachers, subject to compliance with various guidelines issued by the Supreme Court, and also laws and rules enacted by the Assam Legislative Assembly for eviction of landless people and rehabilitation, in case they are evicted from govt land, Khas land, reserve land, etc," he added. He said it was apparent that the people occupying the land in question were living there as they had no alternative land to build their houses and provide shelter to their families. He also directed a Congress delegation, led by chief whip of the party in the Assembly Wazed Ali Choudhury, to visit the eviction site at the earliest and submit a memorandum to the governor, urging him to ensure fair practice and extend all help for rehabilitation, in case eviction of citizens is carried out from the presently occupied land by the govt as per rules. On the other hand, an eight-member Congress delegation was stopped by Assam Police and local authorities from visiting the eviction site. Police put up barricades at Hashila Beel in Goalpara to stop the Congress MLAs from proceeding.
