Retired Subedar Mohammed Sanaullah , who served the Indian Army for 30 years has been detained by Assam police after being declared a "foreigner". In all probability he will be sent to detention centre today.

His entire family are citizens of India.

THREAD-

In 2014 President of India commissioned Md.Sanaulla as Junior Commission Officer.
He was promoted to Subedar and then made Honorary Lieutenant. After retirement he was working as Sub Inspector of Assam Border police, same Police which accused him of being an illegal immigrant

On 23.05.2019 when Modi won election based on national security, on the same a retired Subedar, Mohammed Sanaullah, who protected them country for 30 years was declared a "foreigner".

Earlier Border police accused him of being a "foreigner" without any investigation whatsoever.
In its verification report Police wrote that he is labourer.

Police is said to have taken his statement on 2 dates. BUT acc to his service report he was on duty then in counter insurgency area in Manipur as a part of Operation HIFAJAT

When he was safeguarding his mother land, Border Police was accusing him of being a "foreigner"

The order by which Sanaullah has been declared a "foreigner" asks - WHY his name was not recorded in 1986 voters list as he was 20 years of age then.

Minimum age to vote was lowered from 21to18 by 61st Const. Amendment. President gave assent to the amendnt on March28,89

IF Rule of law, due process, principle of natural justice is not followed, even a decorated Army Officer can be stripped of citizenship and thrown into detention centre.

Constitution don't have hands a legs, it only works when worked by Constitutional authorities.

WHAT do you do when Constitutional authorities randomly accuse you of being a foreigner ?

Can anyone give back the dignity that an ex serviceman has been robbed off?
