The Indian government is accused of illegally deporting Indian Muslims to Bangladesh, sparking fears of persecution and human rights violations

The Indian government has been accused of illegally deporting Muslims, including Indian citizens, to Bangladesh as part of a campaign of persecution. Thousands of people have been arrested and deported without due process of law, and those who resist have been threatened. Bangladesh has called for an end to these deportations without consultation, but has received no response. These actions are part of a wider crackdown on Muslims, in the context of a Hindu nationalist agenda by the BJP government, which has stepped up arrests particularly in Assam state.
