“Provide us with citizenship”, Gadchiroli’s Bangladeshi Hindu refugees’ appeal to Centre

The population of Hindu refugees who came from Bangladesh and settled in the Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra has reached to around 50 thousand. It has been a big challenge for these people to make ends meet in the naxal-affected area. These people have remained deprived of basic facilities like roads, electricity, education, and medical care for years. They have been fighting for their rights. They have been struggling to gain land ownership, the right to education in Bengali medium, caste certificates, reservations and citizenship rights. It has become even more difficult for these people to gain citizenship after the implementation of CAA. Nikhil Bharat Bengali Sharnarthi Samanvay Samiti has been fighting for the refugee Bengali Hindus for the last many years and they demand that the government should give them justice. Dr Subodh Biswas, National President, of Nikhil Bharat Bengali Refugee Coordination Committee said, “Nobody wants to leave their own country. The Hindus of Bangladesh consider India their mother which is why they came to Maharashtra. Now they wonder why are we getting discriminated against. We don’t have land ownership, caste certificate, or citizenship. We are struggling a lot. We cannot fulfil the conditions of CAA. We trust Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. However, we are discontent with the CAA rulings.” #AmitShah #CAA #BangladeshiHindurefugees Join ANI’s YouTube membership to get access to perks: Subscribe now and press the bell icon 🔔 to get new video updates: -------------------------------------- ANI is South Asia’s leading Multimedia News Agency providing content for every information platform, including TV, Internet, broadband, newspapers, and mobiles.
