Sir,
The ongoing crisis involving Rohingya refugees in India presents a complex challenge that demands a balanced approach.
While India’s history of providing asylum reflects its humanitarian values, the infiltration of illegal migrants poses significant security concerns.
The High Court’s stance on treating Rohingyas as illegal migrants underlines the need to prioritize national security and territorial integrity.
The involvement of some Rohingyas in unlawful activities only exacerbates these concerns. India’s non-signatory status to the 1951 Refugee Convention allows it to address these issues on a case-by-case basis.
However, a comprehensive policy framework is essential to manage such crises effectively while upholding humanitarian principles.
