Cong skips question on Omar's tweet on Rohingya crisis
September 19, 2017
Former External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid refused to give any
comment on ex- Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah's tweet on
Rohingyas issue.
Asserting that one who deals with the situation
would know better Khurshid said, "When someone speaks of territory or
land and people that they are associated with very closely as he is with
the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the ground situation of the state. I
want to leave the field to them because they know better."
"This
threat, at least in J&K, is a post 2014 development. No such
intelligence reports ever came up for discussion in Unified HQ meetings"
Abdullah tweeted soon after the Centre filed an affidavit in the
Supreme Court on deportation of Rohingya Muslims from India and said
that the illegal influx of the refugees will adversely affect the
fundamental rights of Indian citizens and cause a threat to the national
security.
