BJP Deports Illegal Bangladeshi Migrants in West Bengal Near Border Area

Amid a government crackdown on illegal immigration, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has issued a stern ultimatum, warning infiltrators to leave the country before official measures are enacted.

"Jaldi jaldi bhago nahi toh jo karna hai sarkar karega (Run as quickly as possible or govt will do what it needs to)," he said after a meeting in Kalyani, as per reports.

Following this, hundreds of individuals lacking valid residency documentation gathered at the Bithari-Hakimpur border in North 24 Parganas on Tuesday, desperately seeking to return to Bangladesh.

This mass movement comes as the administration accelerates the implementation of a "detect-delete-deport" strategy aimed at identifying and removing undocumented immigrants.

Addressing the situation, CM Adhikari clarified that this initiative is being executed under the provisions of the existing Foreigners’ Act rather than any new legislation.

“This is not a new law, but the already existing Foreigners’ Act. They should leave this place immediately," he said. He further asserted that he has instructed the police not to detain alleged infiltrators in prison, remarking, "Why should we host them? Why should we waste India’s resources? Are these infiltrators our sons-in-law?"

He further warned that those who failed to depart voluntarily would face severe consequences, stating, “Leave from here quickly, the government will take strict action.”

On Tuesday morning, a crowd gathered near the Hakimpur border in North 24 Parganas, reportedly assembling to return to Bangladesh as the state government intensified its crackdown on suspected illegal immigrants.
