The protesters were raising slogans against the Government, seeking deportation of the foreigners from Jammu. With proven criminal antecedents of Rohingyas besides seizure of Rs 30 lakh from their possession in Channi Himmat by the police in the recent past, Harsh Dev regretted that the Govt of India and the Governor administration were not taking the cognizance of the alarming situation which could explode and flare up tension in the entire Jammu province. He said with the illegal settlement of these foreign immigrants not only the demography of Jammu city and its peripheral areas had been under threat but they had become hub of serious crimes.
“The recovery of huge amount following the seizure of biggest ever haul of heroin worth Rs 250 crores from Narwal area inhabited by Rohingyas on Aug 6 had led to the widespread speculation of ‘hawala transactions’ being carried out to fund terror activities in the State. In February this year, their involvement was suspected in the terror attack on the Sunjuwan Army camp which had rocked the entire nation. They along with their supporters even dared to brutally attack the reporters and the cameramen from national media when they had visited the locality to cover the story of the illegal Rohingya settlement in March this year”, Harsh Dev claimed.
Accusing Rohingyas of their criminal and radicalized mind set , NPP leader said the public outrage against them could be gauged from the ‘writing on the walls’ which appeared at several public places in the city seeking deportation of Rohingyas and B’deshis from the Dogra land. These illegal immigrants described as ‘ticking time bombs’ by the intelligentsia had been found active in fuelling narco smuggling, human trafficking, child abductions, beggary, border crossing and other crimes.
Accusing the Govt of its failure to evict these unlawful foreigners, he said their settlement had further encouraged the anti-nationals operative in Kashmir to extend sectarian support to the Rohingyan settlement in Jammu region.
