NEW DELHI: India has pushed hundreds of ethnic Bengali-speaking Muslims into Bangladesh without due process, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said Thursday (July 24), accusing the government of flouting rules and fuelling bias on religious lines.
The Hindu nationalist government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has long taken a hardline stance on immigration - particularly those from neighbouring Muslim-majority Bangladesh - with top authorities referring to them as "termites" and "infiltrators".
