Push-back, not push-in; diplomatic solution is essential

Since the crackdown began in India on those suspected of being illegal Bangladeshi residents, several incidents of push-back into Bangladesh have come to light. Recently, India has reportedly pushed into Bangladesh some individuals under suspicion of being illegal Bangladeshis, though allegations have arisen that among them were even Indian citizens from Gujarat. In just the past three weeks, police in the Indian states of Gujarat and Rajasthan have identified over 1,000 individuals.
