In a shocking turn of events, over 300 migrant workers from Itahar in Bengal have reportedly been detained in BJP-ruled Rajasthan for allegedly being “Bangladeshi”—just for speaking Bengali. The West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee raised the issue in the state assembly, saying “Is speaking Bengali a crime?” She accused BJP states of targeting Bengali speakers and has asked the Chief Secretary to intervene urgently. The incident has sparked a political storm, with references to similar harassment of migrants in Maharashtra and Assam. Mamata wants to raise the matter directly with Prime Minister Modi, saying “Even Vivekananda and Tagore spoke Bengali—have they forgotten that?”#bengalworkers #mamata #bjp #rajasthan #identitycrisis #languagepolitics #tmcvsbjp #migrantabuse #indiapolitics #breakingnews #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
