This report focuses on 19 men from West Bengal’s Birbhum district who were detained in a camp in Odisha after being labeled ‘illegal Bangladeshis’, despite possessing Indian identity documents like Aadhar and Voter ID. One man stated they were targeted for their language. The detentions have ignited a political controversy, with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accusing the BJP of communal targeting. In response, BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari has referred to them as ‘infiltrators,’ and Prime Minister Modi has accused the state government of encouraging illegal immigration. A former panchayat leader, Mohammad Mohsin Mandal, highlighted the injustice, stating, "They have been already verified and they have been proved that they are the citizens of Indian and village of Sukrabad." The report covers the escalating conflict between the state and the center over the issue.
