Human rights activists in India have expressed serious concern over the deportation of Bengali Muslims to Bangladesh after branding them as 'foreigners.' According to a Reuters report, Assam authorities have deported 303 people since May. Many of those expelled were declared 'foreigners' by local tribunals, despite being long-time residents of Assam, with family ties and property in the state. The Chief Minister of Assam has warned that deportations will intensify in the coming months.
