Our call to deport Rohingya: Centre:
Background
- Rohingya Crisis; Government of India’s stand to deport the ‘illegal immigrants’.
- NHRC had observed that the ‘refugees’ are no doubt foreign nationals, but are human beings.
What’s new
- The Home Ministry has replied to a notice issued by the NHRC.
- The ministry has defended its decision, deeming Rohingya ‘illegal immigrants’.
- Various provisions of the Foreigners Act and the Passport Act, which bar foreigners from illegally staying in the country were mentioned in the reply.
- It is conveyed in the reply that the decision to deport the Rohingya rests with the Centre; this was told to the Apex court as well.
- Deportations of Rohingya will take place as per the laid down procedure.
Security Reasons
Following reasons were cited by the centre in its affidavit filed in the SC:
- Fragile North-Eastern Corridor
- Radicalization among the Rohingya
- Possibility of violence against the Indian Buddhists
