‘We are Indians’: Jahangirpuri’s Muslims are furious at media’s ‘illegal Bangladeshi’ theory -Akanksha Kumar

Channels like Aaj Tak and ABP suggested the role of ‘Bangladeshi or Rohingya Muslims’ in the communal violence on April 16.

“Modi, may you live long,” said Afsana, beating her chest and gritting her teeth. “You have now turned us into Bangladeshis.”

Afsana, a vegetable vendor, is angry and disappointed. Decades ago, her parents migrated to Delhi from Kolkata, settling in Sunder Nagri in Northeast Delhi, hoping to make a living. They shortly moved to Northwest Delhi’s Jahangirpuri, to C Block – which has been Afsana’s home for the last 30 years.

Afsana, like dozens of other Muslim residents here, is seething at how some media depicted them as “illegal Bangladeshi immigrants”, shortly after communal violence broke out in the area on April 16, after a group took out a procession on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti. Twenty-three people have been arrested so far, and over eight, including policemen, were injured in the stone-pelting, stampede, and destruction that followed.
