Then this is hardly unexpected. The more you know. Pitroda himself is quite the 'character' so this chap is just keeping up with the tradition.

I came across this article recently that provided some explanation of how this old law is being implemented. Post the Delhi attack, the Assam administration has started to use it. The law goes all the way back to 1950. However, on grounds of Human Rights and an understanding with BD it was not put into use.

In the first known use of the Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Act, 1950 since its implementation was approved by the state cabinet earlier this year, the Assam Police are searching for five illegal Bangladeshi immigrants who were declared 'foreigners' by a Foreigners’ Tribunal (FT).
The five, Hanufa, Mariyam Nessa, Fatema, Monowara and Amjad Ali, were declared 'foreigners' by the FT ex parte on 24 October. This was followed by an order directing their expulsion from India within 24 hours.
The order, issued on 19 November by Sonitpur District Commissioner (DC) Ananda Kumar Das under the 1950 Act, required the five persons to “remove yourself from the territory of Assam, India within 24 hours from receiving this order via the Dhubri/Sribhumi/South Salmara-Mankachar route”. The deadline expired on Thursday.
Assam invokes rarely used 1950 expulsion law, orders five 'declared foreigners' to leave state within 24 hours

The swarajya one is a 7 year old article but still relevant today. Politicians like Mamta are a bane to our national security in eastern border. Just a few months back Amit Shah almost ranted about Mamta Govt not cooperating with them wrt to this. So, looks like even after 7 years she didn't bother changing her behaviour.
Our system is such a shitty system where border security comes under the center yet the land still comes under the state government. So the land acquisition process even for fencing comes under state government. Why? Shouldn't the center atleast for border area be given full right to acquire land without going through the usual mess.
You know what if some Bangladeshi terrorist group decided to blow up in Kolkata, the local police intelligence network is so careless it would very easy to pull off. I sometimes think it is sheer luck that I haven't seen any terror attacks here yet.

Continuation.
On same topic, I don't think opposition has the guts to raise Tejas issue. They already have done enough damage with their stand and whole parliament drama on OP sindoor. Let alone Tejas, which will only backfire at the probable backer ( political union) they have at HAL and other DPSUs. Notwithstanding that so far, it doesn't look like any fault of Tejas. Even if it were, they won't raise it in a way that actually leads to betterment.
If you've any doubt, look at the record of last 11 years. Their whole agenda is set as on narratives. Hardly have they raised real issues that would require reforms in the system. They would oppose any reforms tho.
And that's the danger, I believe india finds itself today in a long term pov.
It's not the weak opposition or low strength. It's the kind of opposition we have today. It's not the job of ruling party to cede space to opposition in elections. And it's not their job either to teach opposition on how to raise the right and valid issues.
So, not weak.. but incompetent, borderline treasonous, anti-hindu, anti-unity, desperate, opposition which is dangerous today. Because.. and this is the main part, because.. people literally are left with little to no option! And that's the risk cause GOI can get away with things it wouldn't have if there was a pro-development, pro-progress opposition.
For example: The narrative of Vote-Chori. And there's their misplaced priority comes in. What is found or rather what everyone knew but didn't talk about .. was the "fake voters" , "dead voters", "clerical errors", "migrant voters" and many more mismatches. It was even worse before EVMs came in and Indian for a infrastructure revamp. But no! They had to manipulate an issue with ECs management and systematic loopholes.. to claim a conspiracy of proportions & significance of which, even their own members are probably not aware of. If they had gone to raise it as a governance issue, it would've opened the doors for actual EC Next Gen version. And in doing so, they would've gained some credibility too. But oh well, that's the liberal-communist paradox that indian left is. They love their echo chambers. Who cares about India.
I won't go into dismantling the narrative in this reply. If anyone has any doubts.. we can create a thread too. Since I believe this narrative is damaging to India's position in International Diplomacy. Ironically, not damaging to the party it was meant to.
Thank you if you read the rant? to end
Everyone has a right to raise slogans and protest for what is an important issue. It needs more coverage and the govt. needs to indeed do a lot more. However, why raise political and separatist slogans at a rally that is intended for the good of the common man? You end up causing mayhem and take away from the very purpose of it.

The very same activity is being carried out in a no. of states. I have not come across any credible posts regarding such protests being held over there. What's so special about Bengal that the BLOs have had to come to streets to protest against this process?
If the workload has become that immense, I think the GoI should dispatch its own people to aid the WB govt.

It's not the workload. Mamta's goons have stronghold and fear set among officials there. BLO are just govt employee only. And that too at low levels. Like a teachers, compounders etc.
And central govt can't dispatch it's employees on its own initiative since SIR is under ECI. And ECI doesn't have many employees of its own. It always asks state govt to dispatch/depute govt employees for set period. So, you can see how much a govt like mamta can control through fear on a scale, Unlike other states with visible opposition on ground. And given the state of WB, most of govt employee will actually be TMC workers who got thru connection and allegiance. There might even be some illegals working as employee.
If things go too far.. ECI might have to look at rules and regulations and see if central forces employees can be used on request. That will shut many up.

If the ECI is actually serious about this exercise , it should cross check a percentage of the survey carried out thru outside personnel , document those cases where irregularities are found , make an assessment & request the central government to depute their personnel under CAPFs to carry out the exercise.
The reason being the moment ECI decides on a move like this , you can bet Momota Bano will cry foul & move the SC . That's where this documentation of irregularities comes in handy.
Another thing to note is the TMC is awfully quiet about those malaun lungis making their way back to BD. Sometimes I suspect this could also be at the TMC's behest as a sort of a smokescreen.
Get a small percentage of these illegal migrants to voluntarily quit so that the rest of the country becomes complacent believing the problem is resolving itself while most of those illegal immigrants are regularised. Any complacency in this matter will render the whole exercise infructuous.
That's why two factor authentication should be ( I hope it's under due process of finalisation, must be ) done with NRC.
And yeah, what you said is definitely a must. But, ECI can request CAPF and SC can play judge judge while CAPF weeds out infiltrators. Once some cases come into light.. SC would've no option other than to take note of it and direct ECI to do what it must in "legal" way.
It's because the NRC is an exercise fraught with huge political risks that you're seeing the SIR being conducted. Ideally the NRC & NPR should follow. But I don't think it will.
For that the atmosphere must be even more polarized which it will if not by the end of this decade then by the next decade.
SC can alay stay the proceedings till the time they come out with a judgement.
Hence documentation of irregularities.
Need an assessment for India too tbh. From 1991- present. Bhai-bhatijawad runs rampant here too. Wouldn't be surprised if 1-2% loss comes out at the least. It just wouldn't be as centralised elite capture as in pak. Here, even this will be decentralised by common babus preferring their kin, subsidies for poor farmers going to P. chidambaram and co.
Not IMF, but perhaps a report from CAG+Nitiayaog+ independent institutions will do the job.
It seems that the case in Haryana has been taken seriously by the GoI. Some officials are being investigated and some have been detained.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has launched a mega crackdown across multiple states, targeting a nationwide corruption nexus. The raids are being conducted at several high-profile locations, uncovering alleged financial irregularities and illicit activities. Authorities say this action is part of an ongoing investigation into large-scale corruption and money laundering.

Post 'India's Got Latent' row, Centre proposes big changes to IT Rules to regulate AI content, obscenity
In March, Supreme Court directed Solicitor General to draft proposals safeguarding free speech while ensuring the constitutionally permissible 'reasonable restrictions'.
theprint.in
In a major move to update India’s digital regulatory framework, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has placed before the Supreme Court a comprehensive proposal seeking sweeping amendments to the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.
The submission, which ThePrint has seen, comes in response to the Supreme Court’s March directive asking the Solicitor General to draft proposals that safeguard free speech under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution while ensuring the constitutionally permissible “reasonable restrictions” under Article 19(2).
A key focus is the regulatory vacuum surrounding emerging technologies. The Ministry’s note explicitly references the “emerging needs and demands of civil society with regard to regulation of AI-generated content and deepfakes.”
The proposed code states that “digital content shall not” offend decency or good taste; deride any race, caste, or religion; contain obscenity, defamation, falsehoods, or content tending to incite crime or violence; glorify obscenity; or denigrate women, children, or persons with disabilities. It restricts explicit language or violent content meant for children, content unsuitable for public exhibition, and live coverage of anti-terror operations except through official briefings.
I don't use the app, but they could have used various methods to assure public. Releasing the directive during Parliament session was another stupid thing.
‘Fraud on Constitution’: Allahabad HC asks UP govt to act against converts availing SC/ST benefits
The bench was hearing a plea by a man facing charges of promoting enmity
indianexpress.com
Referring to a 2024 observation by the Supreme Court that said claiming caste-based benefits merely for the purpose of availing reservation even after conversion amounts to a “fraud on the Constitution, the HC has directed the Cabinet Secretary, Government of India, and Chief Secretary, Government of Uttar Pradesh, to look into the matter and act in accordance with law.
The court also directed all District Magistrates in UP to act in accordance with the law within four months and report their compliance to the Chief Secretary and Principal/Additional Chief Secretaries concerned, so that such fraud on the Constitution does not occur, as observed by the SC.
Yeah. But i am astounded by people citing privacy concerns while at same time leaving digital trace all over the place. As if govt needs a lazy app to monitor the dolts.
And why do people think it was a secret? The directive is issued to phone companies i.e. Chinese and US companies.. as if they will take part in secret of govt. While they surveil with their own tools. There should be a limit to stupidity, no?
People are even justifying meta and Google.
