Plea Challenges Assam's 'Push Back' Drive in Supreme Court
A group has asked the Supreme Court to stop the Assam government from sending people they think are illegal foreigners back to Bangladesh.
The group says the government is acting too quickly, without checking if people are really illegal and not letting them have lawyers.
They are concerned about those being deported, especially those from poor backgrounds.
The group is asking the court to make sure the government follows all the rules before deporting anyone.
They say the government's actions go against the constitution and past court decisions.
The government has not yet responded in this specific article.
A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court regarding Assam's deportation of suspected foreigners.
The petition alleges a 'sweeping and indiscriminate drive' by the Assam government.
The petition claims the state is detaining individuals without proper verification.
The plea cites a Supreme Court order from February 4 regarding deportations.
The petitioner argues the policy violates constitutional rights and seeks court intervention.
