BJP’s infiltrator politics in Assam on test

The BJP's "infiltrator politics" in Assam is being scrutinized by the Guwahati High Court, which ordered the return of a woman deported to Bangladesh and provided interim compensation to her husband in a case that has shed light on the government's controversial procedures. The decision has forced the BJP-led Assam government to account for its actions and the involvement of various government agencies in the process.

The outcome of the next hearing on September 24 will be closely watched, as it will determine the government's ability to demonstrate that every person deported was lawfully identified as a foreign national and given appropriate remedies under Indian law. The controversy surrounding the "push-back" politics in Assam highlights the critical need for a fair and transparent process to determine citizenship, especially in cases where individuals may not have had ample opportunity to challenge the Foreigners Tribunal's decision.
