New Delhi, Dec. 31 -- Former MP and Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Tuesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi over discrimination and violence against Bengali migrant workers in parts of India. "A harrowing incident took place in Orissa's Sambalpur where a youth Mr. Juel Sk. of my district Murshidabad has been bludgeoned to death on the same excuse of Bangladeshi infiltrator," Chowdhury wrote in his letter. Chowdhury alleged widespread discrimination in the country, "Migrant workers from West Bengal across the country are confronting severe discrimination in various states (most precisely BJP ruled states) at a regular interval."
