Assam: Police push back three Bangladeshi nationals on border says CM Himanta

Guwahati (Assam) [India], August 28 (ANI): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Wednesday that the police detected three Bangladeshi nationals on the Indo- border and pushed them back.
In a post on X, the Assam CM said, "In line with our ongoing policy to safeguard our borders against any infiltration, Karimganj police detected the following Bangladeshi nationals and subsequently pushed them back at 00:50 hours today."
He further mentioned the names of Bangladeshi nationals including Md Zubair Sheikh, Juel Sheikh and Ruma Khatun.
Earlier on August 25, Himanta Biswa Sarma claimed that Hindus are not attempting to enter India from Bangladesh and they are fighting there.
"Hindus are fighting and staying in Bangladesh. In the last month, we have not detected a single Hindu person, but we have arrested 35 Muslim infiltrators in the last month. Today also, I tweeted that we arrested two people in Karimganj and pushed them back yesterday night," CM Himanta media at Silchar.
He also said that there is no record of Hindu people from Bangladesh entering Assam.
"We intercepted and pushed them back and fortunately or unfortunately, they belong to one community, not Hindu. Hindus are fighting and no Hindu tries to come to India. Hindus are only requesting our Prime Minister to impress upon the government of Bangladesh to ensure security," the Assam Chief Minister said.
The protests in Bangladesh erupted in early July due to demands for reforming the quota system that reserves civil service jobs for specific groups, including descendants of 1971 war veterans.(ANI)
