It's your Bengalis from West Bengal who are being pushed back into Bangladesh. Push back Bangladeshi Bengalis if there are any.

Mohua Mitra, an MP from West Bengal, has said that Bangladesh is well ahead of India in many economic and social parameters. So, the story of large scale influx of Bangladeshis into India is fake. She urged Narendra Modi and Amit Shah to be practical before spreading such cock and bull story. We should thank her for telling the truth in-front of BJP MPs. May God bless her.

India must stop expulsion of Indian Muslims, Rohingyas
The Indian government must immediately end its unlawful campaign of expulsion against Indian Muslim citizens and Rohingya refugees, said Fortify Rights.
India must stop expulsion of Indian Muslims, Rohingyas
Says Fortify Rights
The Indian government must immediately end its unlawful campaign of expulsion against Indian Muslim citizens and Rohingya refugees, said Fortify Rights.
The move comes as the Indian authorities in recent months have been arbitrarily arresting, detaining, torturing and coercively removing members of Muslim minorities -- including those with valid documentation or citizenship -- as well as Rohingya refugees as part of its intensified "illegal immigrant" verification campaign.
"These actions not only violate international human rights law but deepen the dangerous marginalisation of Muslims and refugees in India," said John Quinley, director at Fortify Rights, in a statement yesterday.
Since the Indian home ministry issued a directive in May mandating all states and union territories to verify the credentials of individuals suspected to be "illegal immigrants", mass raids and forced expulsions of Indian Muslims and returns of Rohingya refugees to Bangladesh and Myanmar have intensified, the statement said.
Since May 7, more than 1,800 people have been forced into Bangladesh from India, Fortify Rights said citing Bangladesh government data.
Indian officials reported that more than 2,000 have been sent to Bangladesh, it said.
In the statement, the rights body said it had documented torture and ill-treatment during India's arrest and expulsion campaign from May to July, speaking with 16 individuals -- including Muslim residents in the states of Assam and Gujarat, Rohingya refugees in India, relatives of detainees, an Indian lawyer and a Bangladeshi police officer at the border.
The statement detailed the plight of a 50-year-old Indian Muslim detained at Matia Transit Camp, India's largest detention facility for irregular migrants and refugees in Assam's Goalpara district.
"On May 23, I was asked to report to the Mikirbheta police station at 11 pm. As soon as I arrived, I was detained. I kept screaming that I was born and raised in India, that I am a government teacher, and that I had already served time in a detention camp for two years from 2018 to 2020."
He spent at least a couple of days in the camp before being taken to a military camp of the Border Security Force (BSF).
On the night of May 26, a group of 14 people, including him, were driven overnight by the BSF through the jungle and waterways and left in no man's land on the India–Bangladesh border.
"My hands were tied, and I was blindfolded. The BSF fired rubber bullets at us while we were in no man's land, just to force us to the other side [into Bangladesh]. I never thought that I would be made a foreigner in my own country," he said.
Four days later, with support from his relatives in India, the man negotiated with the Indian authorities to be allowed back into Assam state due to a pending Supreme Court petition filed in December 2024 related to his family's citizenship.
Another Indian Muslim resident of Assam told Fortify Rights how her father was taken into Indian police custody and later forced into Bangladesh on May 23.
"My father was called a Bangladeshi all his life, but that he would be sent to Bangladesh was unimaginable. We are Indians. We are being thrown out of our country. Why was my father sent to Bangladesh when he had all the documents [proving his Indian citizenship]?"
Her father was, however, intercepted by Bangladeshi border guard forces and sent back to India, the reports said.
The others who were expelled were reportedly transported to coastal areas and forced into the water near the maritime border of Bangladesh.
On the night of May 8, 2025, speedboats pushed them into the sea and forced them to swim ashore, the reports said quoting a Bangladeshi police officer who received a group of more than 70 people pushed by the Indian authorities into Bangladesh.
Rohingya refugees are also being detained and sent to Bangladesh, said the Fortify Rights statement.
"India is stripping Indian Muslim citizens and Rohingya refugees of their rights. Despite its obligations under international law, India continues to violate these commitments through a series of disturbing official laws and policies tinged with ethno-religious supremacism," Quinley said.

The Indian Border Security Force has pushed at least 26 more people, including four Rohingyas, into Bangladesh through different border points in Naogaon and Moulvibazar on Friday morning.
With the new push-ins, the number of people, including Rohingyas and Indian nationals, pushed into Bangladesh by the BSF since May 7 has increased to 2,055.
The Indian border force has so far pushed at least 173 Rohingyas, including 50 registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in India, into Bangladesh.
The BSF pushed 18 people at dawn through different border points at Dhamoirhat and Sapahar upazilas in Naogaon, a senior Border Guard Bangladesh official told New Age.
He said that a patrol team from Dhamoirhat’s Kalupara border outpost spotted 14 people, including four children and five women, wandering in a mango orchard at Satnapara, about fifty yards inside Bangladesh territory.
During an initial interrogation, the adult members of the group said that they had crossed into India several years ago through the Satkhira and Benapole borders to work in Mumbai.
They were later arrested by India’s police and, in the early hours of Friday, were pushed back into Bangladesh by BSF members of the Balurghat camp, the BGB official added.
Abdul Aziz, officer-in-charge of the Sapahar police station, told New Age that BGB members from the Bamanpara BOP detained four more people, including two children, after they were pushed back by BSF members of Chhatrahati border point in West Bengal of India.
He said that the detainees had gone to Mumbai several years ago, where they worked mainly as domestic help.
‘Recently, Mumbai police arrested them and sent them to the Chhatrahati BSF camp. From there, they were pushed into Bangladesh at dawn,’ the police official said, adding that the detainees were sent to jail through court for trespassing into India illegally.
New Age staff correspondent in Sylhet reported that Indian BSF pushed eight people, including four Rohingyas, into Bangladesh through a border point at Baralekha upazila in Moulvibazar on Friday.
BGB 52 Battalion commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Mohammad Ariful Haque Chowdhury said that the BSF pushed eight people into Bangladesh.
‘Four Rohingyas, including a man, a woman and two children, and four Bangladeshis, including two men and two women, were pushed into Bangladesh in two phases between 7:00am and 12:00pm on Friday through the Batamoral Punji border point at Baralekha upazila,’ he said.
Ariful said that the detainees said that they had gone to India illegally through different border points several months back for job.
Barlekha police station officer-in-charge Abul Kasem Sarker told New Age in the evening that they were completing necessary formalities to send the detained Rohingyas, who were pushed into Bangladesh by the BSF, to the refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar and the Bangladeshis to their respective families.

India pushes 40 more people into Bangladesh
Staff Correspondent 13 August, 2025, 20:11
The Indian Border Security Force on Wednesday pushed 40 more people into Bangladesh through different border points in Panchagarh, Lalmonirhat and Thakurgaon districts.
With the new push-ins, the number of people, including Rohingyas and Indian nationals, pushed into Bangladesh by the BSF since May 7 has increased to 2,112.
The Indian border force has so far pushed at least 173 Rohingyas, including 50 registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in India, into Bangladesh.
The BSF pushed 23 people, including 13 women, nine men and a child, at dawn through different border points of Harivasha union under Sadar upazila in Panchagarh on Wednesday, New Age correspondent in Panchagarh reported.
The detained individuals said that they were originally from Satkhira, Jashore, Narail and Lalmonirhat districts, and they had entered India at different times.

BGB hands over Indian woman, son to BSF
Four others await repatriation
Staff Correspondent . Rajshahi 06 December, 2025, 00:52
Members of the Border Guard Bangladesh on Friday night handed over to the India’s Border Security Force Indian woman Sonali Bibi and her 8-year-old son, who along with four others were pushed into Bangladesh on August 20 by the BSF.
Lieutenant Colonel Golam Kibria, commander of BGB-59 battalion, told New Age that they handed Sonali Bibi and her son to the BSF through Sonamasjid Land Port under Shibganj upazila of Chapainawabganj at 7:30pm.
He said that the process of returning the four other Indian nationals was under way.
‘We are trying to contact BSF officials. If they agree to receive the four others, we will hand them over tonight,’ he added.
Earlier on August 20, the BSF pushed Danish Sheikh, 28, his pregnant wife Sonali Bibi, 26, their 8-year-old son, Sweety Bibi, 33, and Sweety’s two sons, aged 16 and 6 into Bangladesh through the Kurigram border.
The group had been living in New Delhi before Delhi Police arrested them in June, according to officials.
The Bangladesh police arrested them on August 20 at Alinagar in Chapainawabganj town and filed a case against them under the passport act.
They were later produced before a district court that sent them to jail.
On September 27, the Calcutta High Court ordered their repatriation, describing their pushing into Bangladesh as illegal and directing India’s Union Home Ministry to ensure their return to West Bengal within four weeks, according to Indian media reports.
On December 1, the group were released from Chapainawabganj district jail on bail at about 8:00pm.
After their release, the Chapainawabganj district police picked them up at about 9:30pm on the same day from the house of their local guarantor in the Nayagola area of Chapainawabganj municipality.
On the following day, they were handed over to the local guarantor on condition that they would report their presence to the court once every 10 days.
