Mamata 'weaponising' language, alleges BJP; TMC accuses saffron party of 'conspiring to harass' Bengali people
KOLKATA: The political slugfest between the Trinamool Congress and the BJP over the alleged harassment and torture of Bengali-speaking people from West Bengal in various BJP-ruled states continued on Saturday as the BJP accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of compromising national security for vote-bank politics. In response, the Trinamool Congress alleged that the BJP is harassing the people of Bengal, while stating that as long as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is there, no one can deport a Bengali citizen. Earlier, Gurugram Police reportedly detained 10 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. Claiming that Bangladeshi documents have been recovered from them, Gurugram Police PRO Sandeep Kumar told the media that the process to deport them has begun. Referring to the statement of Gurugram Police, head of BJP's National IT cell Amit Malviya in a post on X, said, 'Mamata Banerjee will now shed copious tears for illegal Bangladeshis, claiming they "speak Bangla' and should be treated as her guests. This isn't compassion, it is the worst kind of perversion, where language is weaponised to justify illegality.'

Gurugram police detain 10 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, deportation underway
Ten Bangladeshi nationals have been detained in Gurugram as part of an ongoing drive to identify illegal immigrants, and they will be deported, police said on Saturday. As reported by ANI, citing Sandeep Kumar, PRO, Gurugram Police, 'Gurugram Police has detained 10 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. Bangladeshi documents have been recovered from them. The process to deport them has begun.' Earlier on Friday, Police told PTI that strict instructions have been given to landlords in Gurugram to complete police verification of their tenants before renting houses to them. According to police, many illegal migrants have now gone underground. In the absence of valid documents, they are moving towards rural areas or other cities. Police sources told PTI that on Thursday that under the drive, which has been going on for the past week, more than 250 suspected illegal immigrants have been sent to holding areas, where their documents are being verified. Hundreds of domestic workers and sanitation staff have left Gurugram due to fear of police checks and detention. This sudden exit has severely disrupted waste collection. Garbage has been piling up on the streets while door-to-door waste collection systems have collapsed. According to the Hindustan Times, areas like Sector 103, Palam Vihar, Sector 56, 57 and Sector 29 are now facing waste problems. Residents are hiring tractor-trolleys without proper waste separation or trained workers. It is causing random dumping that risks turning into a serious health crisis. In a separate incident, two suspected Bangladeshi smugglers were shot dead by the BSF at the international border in South Tripura, PTI reported. "BSF personnel were keeping a close vigil on the border when they spotted a major smuggling attempt. As they tried to intercept, the smugglers got violent. In self-defence, the security personnel opened fire," a senior officer of the border-guarding force said. (This is a breaking news)

A week on, all in Gurgaon detention centres freed, except 10 ‘illegals'
Gurgaon: A week after a drive to identify Bangladeshis and Rohingya living illegally in the city began, leading to around 250 people being rounded up at four holding centres, everyone – barring 10 foreigners who will be deported – has been freed. After the verification exercise was complete, the last batches of detainees were sent home on Friday, though the four community centres remain notified as holding centres. The drive generated panic among migrant families from West Bengal and Assam, many of whom have left the city, scared of detentions and questions. The police verification drive had initially rounded up around 500 people. Around 50% of them were sent to the holding centres for checks that involved background verification from police in home districts. TOI had reported in its July 25 edition that during these checks, 10 of those detained had been found to be Bangladeshi citizens who had made Indian IDs like Aadhaar and voter cards made.

"He was detained from Sector 53 after arriving from Delhi. He couldn't provide proof of Indian citizenship. So, we have initiated his deportation process," said a police officer familiar with the case. At the community centre in Badshapur, which previously held over 100 people, all detainees were freed after they provided proof of their Indian citizenship and the documents were vetted. Some Bangladeshi nationals are still housed here. Sandeep Kumar, spokesperson for the police, said, "There is zero detention at all four centres now. All migrants were released after verification of their documents." But even as the drive has managed to identify illegals, it has left a considerable section of the Bengali-speaking migrant population shaken. Many of those released described their time in detention as "the most traumatic days" of their lives. They also expressed disappointment over the lack of support from political parties in their home states — particularly Trinamool Congress — despite public statements of outrage from the party and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee. They said no political leader or any organisation from their home states had visited them despite the show of support on social media. At an event in Kolkata on Thursday, Mamata accused the BJP-led Centre of targeting the Bengali language and its people. "A kind of linguistic terrorism has been declared against the Bengali language, the fifth most spoken in the world. Around 30 crore people speak Bengali, but Bengali speakers are being sent to jail. I cannot accept this, and I believe you cannot either. There should be zero tolerance for people being detained just for speaking Bengali. We must protect this land," she said. Those from Assam, too, rued the lack of home support. Tara Miya, a labour contractor from Assam staying in Baliawas, said most of his workforce had gone back home. "Sixteen of my men were detained for about six days, first in a police station and then at the detention centre in Sector 40. No politician from Assam offered any help. The cops released all my men after verification. Of the 400 migrants who stay in Baliawas, only about 100 are here. The rest have left for home," he added. Local labour organisations, however, rallied behind the detainees, condemning what they described as harassment. The state secretary of the Democratic Women's Committee, Usha Saroha, along with other labour union functionaries, pointed out that many affected workers have been long-term residents of the city, working in industries, at construction sites, and as domestic staff. CITU general secretary Jaibhagwan said, "Bengali-speaking minorities are being specifically targeted. Many citizens are being mistreated under the pretext of verification." A senior police officer said the deportation process for the 10 Bangladeshi nationals is under way and the identification drive is not over. "The drive against illegals will continue in the coming days and these four designated holding centres will also operate for now. In case we find any suspect, they will be housed here," the officer added.
