Multiple actors termed the incidents unfortunate and urged political parties to show solidarity against discrimination based on language.

However, one actor from a political party's cultural cell blamed the ruling party for issuing documents to alleged illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, claiming genuine Bengali migrants are caught in the crackdown. The state's chief minister led a protest march, asserting that approximately 22 lakh migrant workers from the state possess valid identity documents and condemning their treatment. She claimed around 1,000 workers were detained in various states for speaking Bengali, accusing the central government of branding migrants as infiltrators based solely on their language.
