BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has questioned India's selective pushback policy, saying, “Sheikh Hasina is also a Bengali Muslim and a Bangladeshi citizen—why isn’t she being pushed back?” Rizvi accused India of political bias: “Thousands of people who’ve lived in India for generations are being labeled as Bangladeshis and deported simply because they are Muslim and speak Bengali. Yet, criminals and looters who have fled Bangladesh to India are not being sent back.” He added, “We’ve seen such attempts before, but they were resisted. A nationalist government must take a stand against this.”
