Trinamool MP Samirul Islam calls on family who was pushed into Bangladesh

Trinamool Congress MP Samirul Islam visited the family of Sweety Bibi, a Bengali migrant who was detained by Delhi Police in 2025 and pushed into Bangladesh. After a year-long legal battle involving the Calcutta High Court and Supreme Court, the family was repatriated to India on July 8, 2026. Mr. Islam criticized the deportation of genuine Indian citizens and urged the government to prevent similar incidents. He emphasized that India is the homeland for all, regardless of identity or background. The case gained attention when the migrants released a video appealing to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Over 10,000 Bangladeshi nationals have been repatriated under the current West Bengal government's policies.
