Rohingyas a security threat, deport them: RSS
March 17, 2018 17:47
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh today supported the demand for deportation of illegal migrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh, saying their presence in Jammu and Kashmir posed a security threat to the country.
"We do not consider them (Rohingyas and Bangladeshis) as refugees as they are foreigners and have entered in our country illegally," RSS Prant Sanghchalk, Brig (Retd) Suchait Singh told reporters in Jammu.
Singh, who was flanked by Prant Kariwah Parshotam Dadichi, said the state and the central governments should identify the illegally settled foreigners and sent them back.
"Why should we tolerate them when they pose a security threat to the nation as well as the state," he said.
Criticising the previous UPA government at the centre and National Conference-Congress coalition government in the state for allowing them to settle down in Jammu, he said they are totally responsible for the present situation(agitation over the deportation of Rohingyas and Bangladeshis in Jammu).
"What is their motive behind settling them in Jammu is best known to them We see their presence as a threat and want their early eviction," the former army officer said.
Dadichi said there are about 300 shakhas in the state and "we are waiting for the day when the shakhas are opened in Kashmir valley as well".
"We are waiting for the day when the people in the valley will come forward and reach us to open our units. We are sure that day is not far," he said, adding "we want peace to return to the valley as soon as possible". -- PTI
