"In Jai Hind Colony in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, Bengali-speaking families are being targeted because they speak Bengali. They are being labelled 'Bangladeshi' and deprived of basic rights like water and electricity. A forced eviction is currently underway... In BJP-ruled states, Bengalis are being treated as infiltrators in their own country. Speaking Bengali does not make one a Bangladeshi. These individuals are as much citizens of India as anyone else, regardless of what language they speak. Having failed in their attempts to deprive Bengalis in West Bengal, BJP is now exporting their Bangla-Birodhi agenda to other parts of the country in a strategic and systemic manner. Disturbing reports have emerged from Gujarat, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Madhya Pradesh, where Bengali-speaking individuals are facing targeted persecution. And now, this pattern of hostility has reached even the national capital."
