In a recent incident in the Cachar district of Assam, a family of four was detained and sent to a detention camp after being declared as “foreigners.” The family, comprising a couple and their two daughters, has been residing in the area for decades and maintains that they are Indian citizens. They were taken into custody by the police and handed over to the Foreigners’ Tribunal in Silchar.
The daughters of the family expressed shock and disbelief over the situation, stating, “We are not from Bangladesh, we are Indian. Why did they do this to us?” The family’s lawyer highlighted that they possess all the necessary documents to prove their Indian citizenship, including voter ID cards and ration cards.
On the other hand, the authorities cited discrepancies in the voters’ list as the reason behind the family’s detention. They mentioned that the family’s names were missing from the voters’ list of 1966, which led to doubts about their citizenship status.
This incident has led to a debate regarding the complexities of citizenship documentation and the challenges faced by individuals in proving their nationality. The family’s case raises questions about the effectiveness of the mechanisms in place to address citizenship disputes and the potential consequences of errors in such processes.
The detention of the family has sparked concerns among the local community, with many advocating for a thorough investigation into the matter to ensure that no Indian citizen is wrongfully targeted in the process of identifying foreigners.
