Bengal's migrant workers illegally detained by Odisha govt: TMC
TMC leaders accused BJP-ruled Odisha government of illegally detaining Bengali-speaking migrant workers under pretext of identifying unauthorised immigrants. TMC said that this occurred despite the labourers possessing valid documents. TMC Rajya Sabha MP Samirul Islam alleged that these detentions were part of a "deliberate pattern of harassment" based solely on the workers' language and origin.
