The demand was made by BJP chief spokesperson, Sunil Sethi along with party spokespersons, Abhijeet Jasrotia, Y V Sharma, Balbir Ram Rattan, Rajni Sethi, Dr. Tahir Choudhary, and Altaf Thakur at a press conference here, today.
“It is a matter of security concern that Rohingyas and Bangladeshis have settled in J&K UT, particularly in Jammu for years now, which is a few kilometers away from Pakistan. The BJP has been repeatedly raising questions on their entering Indian territory illegally, travelling thousands of kilometers, crossing half a dozen states, and settling in Jammu,” said Sunil Sethi.
Sethi made a fervent appeal to Lt Governor Manoj Sinha demanding a CBI probe to investigate and identify persons involved in bringing in and facilitating the settlement of Rohingyas and Bangladeshis in Jammu.
Sunil Sethi said that such persons/elements should be booked for anti-national activities and punished. The people should know as to who have been showing sympathy with the illegally settled foreign nationals and advocating their cases in the court of law.
Sunil Sethi, while taking note of the soft approach of one of the NC leaders and Cabinet Minister, questioned him to explain if they respect and follow the law of the country or they are above the law and have liberty to go to any extent to appease the illegal settlers. By siding with the Rohingyas and Bangladeshis, the NC is also playing with the future of the unemployed youth of the UT, as the Rohingyas and Bangladeshis have engaged themselves in different jobs here.
Sethi said that anyone wishing to settle in a country applies through proper procedure and may get permission to come and settle but in case of these Rohingyas and Bangladeshis, they have crossed over illegally, travelled so long with the motive of settling in Jammu. They are illegal and a threat to the security as well. Their settlement near the border cannot be justified by any yardstick. The only solution is their immediate deportation, he said.
