New Delhi: Indian authorities conducted coordinated raids across five states, ostensibly targeting Bangladeshi migrants and local Muslim communities under the pretext of an \u201cAl Qaeda-linked terror network,\u201d a term, analysts say, is widely used by the Hindutva regime to justify operations against Muslims.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) carried out searches at ten locations in West Bengal, Tripura, Meghalaya, Haryana, and Gujarat, seizing digital devices and documents. While portrayed as a counter-terror exercise, residents said the raids disrupted daily life and spread fear among those with little or no connection to the alleged suspects.<\/p>\n
The case, registered in 2023, involves four Bangladeshi nationals accused of infiltrating India. NIA officials claim they were linked to Al Qaeda and involved in fundraising and radicalisation. Observers note that these allegations have been used to harass entire communities, with Bangladeshi migrants and local Muslims facing intense scrutiny, questioning, and social stigma.<\/p>\n
Analysts warn that India\u2019s approach\u2014associating ordinary people with terror networks based on nationality or religion\u2014intensifies marginalisation and fear, while evidence of actual involvement remains scarce for most affected residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
