Bangalore: Congress today slammed Modi govt for deporting Rohingya Muslims. Salman Nizami Spokesperson Congress while addressing a party convention at Bangalore said ” India is home to about 2 lakh refugees, most of them from tibet, Nepal, Aghan & Sri Lanka. But, BJP govt wants to deport only Rohingya refugees. Why because they are Muslim. He said when the government can provide shelter to Buddhist refugees of Tibet, Srilanka, Afghanistan, Pakistan also also can allow Nepalese to live here, then why it wants to send back 40,000 Mynamar Muslim refugees. Mocking the govt and its policies, Nizami also questioned the stay granted to controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen and Tarek Fatah who speak against Indian Muslims & Liberals. Nizami said BJP Govt is well aware of the human rights violations Rohingya Muslims have had to face in Myanmar and it would be outrageous to abandon them to their fates, iy shows blatant disregard for Govt’s obligations under international law”. He said the government should put an end to any plans to deport the Rohingya, and instead register them so that they can get an education and health care and find work.
If Tibetan refugees can stay in India, why can’t Rohingya’s: Salman Nizami
