TMC leaders embarked on a mission to Maharashtra following reports of the detention of over 100 migrant workers from West Bengal, suspected to be illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
Bishnupur MLA Dilip Mondal stated that Sardar, a construction laborer from his constituency, was among those detained. In response, four leaders were dispatched to facilitate their release.
TMC has accused BJP of harassing Bengali-speaking migrants, claiming this is a targeted strategy in BJP-governed states. The allegations have been refuted by BJP, labeling the matter as politically motivated ahead of the next state assembly elections.
