Senior Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhuryhas urged Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel to intervene against alleged police excesses targeting Bengali-speaking Indian citizens, particularly migrant labourers in Surat, following the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack.Chowdhury, a former MP from Berhampore, said that innocent Indian nationals — both Hindus and Muslims — were facing harassment, torture, and deportation threats under an intensified drive to identify illegal immigrants. He stressed the need for immediate action to safeguard the rights and livelihoods of Bengali-speaking citizens.In a letter to Patel, Chowdhury wrote, “The Police Forces across the states, and mainly those of Gujarat, have gone on an over-drive to identify illegal immigrants, mainly Bangladeshis living in India. While it is a necessity to identify and deport illegal immigrants, most unfortunately and sadly, almost every Bengali-speaking Muslim, particularly the ones living outside West Bengal to earn their livelihood, is being targeted, harassed, tortured and threatened with deportation”.advertisementWhile acknowledging the importance of curbing illegal immigration, Chowdhury warned that the ongoing operations were indiscriminately affecting legitimate Bengali-speaking Indian Muslims, especially those working outside West Bengal.He appealed to the Chief Minister to ensure that no bonafide citizen is subjected to humiliation or economic distress.Further in his letter, Chowdhury alleged that poor Bengali migrant Muslims, who constitute some of the most marginalised sections of society in Surat and adjoining areas, were “the worst sufferers of police excesses” under the current crackdown to identify illegal Bangladeshi migrants.He said that he had received continuous reports of innocent and poor Bengali speakers being targeted and tortured on the question of their nationality and requested Patel to look into the matter and address it.In the aftermath of the deadly Pahalgam terrorist attacks of April 22, several instances of discrimination on the basis of religion, region and language are being reported across the country.advertisementConcluding his letter, he wrote, “It would be essential to see that the lives of the poor and hapless who are Indians — irrespective of their language, creed, culture or religion — are protected and allowed to lead their lives peacefully”. in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
