PM Modi's speech at Bengal rally lacks concerns about Matuas' citizenship, alleges TMC
Potential disenfranchisement of a community raises serious concerns about electoral integrity.
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech at a rally in West Bengal, alleging that he showed "lack of concern" for the Matua community, who are facing uncertainties about their names being deleted from the electoral rolls. The TMC also accused Modi of remaining silent on alleged harassment of Bengali-speaking people in BJP-ruled states and failing to address concerns regarding the deportation of Indian citizens to Bangladesh. The party's spokesperson, Arup Chakraborty, stated that the Matuas are furious with Modi and his party for using them as a vote bank while neglecting their citizenship issues.
