India Orders Migrant Detention Centres Sparking Explusion Fears

India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has ordered the establishment of detention centers for undocumented Bangladeshis and Rohingyas in West Bengal, raising fears of arbitrary expulsions among minorities. This directive follows the BJP's recent electoral victory in the state. The government defends the policy as a crackdown on illegal migration, citing security and socio-economic ramifications. Critics argue the measures disproportionately affect the Muslim population and reflect the party's hardline stance on immigration, drawing parallels to similar actions in Assam.
