<h1>MP alleges BJP states withhold migrant worker data, claim harassment and unlawful detention of Bengali migrants</h1> A political party MP accused several BJP-governed states of withholding data on Bengali-speaking migrant workers and alleged harassment, unlawful detention, and deportation of these migrants, including claims of inadequate government records on migrant workers' status and deaths. The MP criticized the central and state governments for failing to maintain reliable migrant worker databases and for not sharing data with the home state government. The BJP leaders countered these allegations, asserting that only illegal immigrants from a neighboring country are targeted and that Indian citizens with valid documents are not harassed, accusing the opposing party of protecting illegal migrants for political gain.
