Breaking News:Mamata Banerjee does not want Bangladeshis to leave India.

Hindu communities in Bangladesh are reportedly living in terror, and the current verification process is making many illegal immigrants who entered India from Bangladesh nervous.

Thousands of unauthorized migrants rushed to the border as the verification procedure started, getting ready to return home. Remarkably, a number of them were able to get Indian identity documents such as voter cards and Aadhaar.

A few had even taken part in elections. They are currently searching for ways to return to Bangladesh because they do not have the documents that are now needed for verification.

The verification drive is moving forward quickly, according to officials. Over 500 million verification forms have already been delivered to homes in 12 states and union territories, according to election authorities.

Bengal has apparently attained over 99% coverage, while Goa and Lakshadweep have finished distribution completely. Political objections have surfaced in spite of this. In a letter to the central election authority, a state leader described the process as unexpected, stressful for government employees, and detrimental to the populace.

According to the letter, there have been reports of suicides and severe distress as a result of the surgery. It requires an instant pause and a restart only following enough training and preparedness.

This opposition is perceived by opposition parties as an effort to protect illegal voters who are part of specific partisan vote banks. Since many undocumented migrants are running toward the border, some political figures contend that the anxiety brought on by the verification is readily apparent.

Colonies are emptying, and groups of people claiming to be Bangladeshi citizens are trying to return, according to reports from border regions. This has raised concerns about why such widespread departures are taking place in particular areas.

According to a political spokesperson, prolonging the verification procedure could cause the next elections to be delayed and possibly lead to the temporary takeover of power by the central government, which is something that opposition parties are concerned about. 

Evidence of immigrants who had been citizens of India for decades was provided by another political group. One such person acknowledged that he visited India illegally almost twenty years ago, got married here, had kids, and even used Aadhaar and voter cards created in a relative's name to cast ballots in local elections.

Many migrants collected at crossing points who want to return have also been interviewed by border media. An elderly woman claimed to have both Bangladeshi and Indian citizenship credentials.

She emphasized how simple it was to obtain paperwork by explaining that, although having lived in India for years, she had only recently renewed her Bangladeshi citizenship documents before returning to India. She said officials just came to her house, collected her information, and issued her an Aadhaar card without requiring any Indian documents.

Many of these migrants claim to have arrived years ago in search of employment, food, or medical care, settled in various parts of India, picked up local languages, and secured positions with little to no verification. Some were employed in distant locations, like as Tamil Nadu, but they returned when employers started asking for legitimate identity because of the verification process.

According to these people, obtaining documentation and blending in with the local community was simple. They assert that with the assistance of middlemen, housing, jobs, and even ID cards were available.

Opposing political voices contend that these films and interviews are staged and that the central government should first provide an explanation for how so many people were able to cross the border in the first place. They point out that central authorities are in charge of border security.

In contrast, other leaders claim that because state officials failed to provide the land needed for fencing construction, large portions of the border are still unfenced. They contend that significant increases in the number of voters in border areas show significant infiltration during the previous 20 years.

Many illegal immigrants were able to register as citizens, receive official identity, and even cast ballots, according to interviews with migrants at the border. Those who deny the necessity of the verification drive are directly addressed by the current scenario, in which many are trying to return to Bangladesh.
