Calcutta High Court to Center: Explain a sudden raid against Bengali-speaker. Bharat News

Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court on Wednesday told the central government that Bengali speaking people were potentially targeted as illegal Bangladeshi migrants to file an affidavit behind the “sudden” nationwide raids in June.“What were the reasons? Was it pre -planned?” A division bench by Justice Tapebrata Chakraborty and Shatoboto Kumar Mitra said that he was “pushed into Bangladesh” by hearing several prisoners in illegal custody of Bengali -speaking migrants in Odisha and six people were “pushed into Bangladesh”.“Let these issues clean up. Otherwise, it will send a wrong message. It may be a wrong task. It is alleged that people are being illegally deported in Bangladesh because they speak Bengali,” said this.HC also demanded affidavits on the exile of the family of three from the Government of Bengal and Delhi Police from Birbham to Bangladesh.State Senior Advocate Kalyan Bandyopadhyay said that speaking Bengali cannot be the basis for suspicion that a person is an illegal immigrant. He said, “You cannot detain anyone to speak Bengali. Delhi Police counsel Dheeraj Trivedi said that no one was deported to speak Bengali. “Around 165 people in Kashmir, some of whom spoke Bengali, were arrested after a terrorist strike on tourists in Pahalgam, but all were released.”The Center’s lawyer, Asok Chakravarti, was surprised whether a writ of captive corpus could be filed after a deportation order was issued. There was also an argument on the same captive corpus petitions being filed in both Delhi and Kolkata. Raghunath Chakraborty, a lawyer of the petitioners, said that the families of the exiles had no knowledge of the pending case in Delhi HC.“Don’t try to play tricks. It was not your duty to find out if they had gone to any other court earlier? Do you think our orders are just paper scraps? What kind of conduct is this?” Justice Chakraborty replied.
