Tribunal asks retired Army Havildar to prove his citizenship
A Foreigners Tribunal in Assam has asked retired Army Havildar Mahiruddin Ahmed and his wife to prove their Indian citizenship. Ahmed, who retired from the Army after 18 years of service, said he was humiliated by the notice which alleged that he had illegally migrated from Bangladesh. Earlier, Assam police had erroneously termed an Army officer as a Bangladeshi immigrant.
