Evictions in Northeast India
In a troubling development, hundreds of Muslim families in northeastern India are facing eviction from their homes. This situation unfolds just before the crucial state elections, raising significant concerns. Along the border with Bangladesh, many have taken refuge under blue tarpaulin shelters, highlighting the humanitarian crisis at hand.
This crackdown, particularly in Assam, appears to be timed strategically with the upcoming elections. Authorities have intensified efforts to remove individuals deemed illegal immigrants, often targeting the Muslim population. As the political climate heats up, these evictions raise serious questions about human rights and the treatment of minority communities in India. The situation demands urgent attention and action to ensure that basic humanitarian needs are met.
