Kangaroo tribunals: Foreigners’ Tribunals almost another arm of BJP government in Assam

The Supreme Court’s taking of strong exception to BJP leader and UP cooperative minister Mukut Bihari Verma’s purported statement.
Previously he said that the “Supreme Court is ours” and the judgment in the Babri case will be in favour of Hindus.
Foreigners’ Tribunals (FT) in Assam have been working in the most partisan manner.
The court was shocked at some of the details of the 282 cases dealt with by the FT: 17 persons on a note sheet were declared Indian citizens, but the order declared them foreigner.
Foreigners’ Tribunals were established under The Foreigners’ Act,1946, that is, a pre-Constitution and colonial legislation that was meant to deal with foreigners rather than citizens.
