India orders migrant detention centres in West Bengal, sparking arbitrary explusion fears - World

India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has ordered the establishment of detention centers for undocumented Bangladeshis and Rohingyas in West Bengal state, sparking fear among minorities. The directive comes after the BJP won power in the eastern state for the first time since independence. The government defends its "detect, delete, deport" principle, arguing that those targeted are illegal migrants. Critics argue the policy reflects a hardline stance on immigration and disproportionately impacts Muslims, while rights activists raise concerns about potential human rights violations.
