JKNPP protests against govt's 'failure' to deport Rohingyas

The Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) staged a protest here on Monday against the state government's "failure" to deport the Rohingyas and Bangladeshis from Jammu.

Jammu: The Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) staged a protest here on Monday against the state government's "failure" to deport the Rohingyas and Bangladeshis from Jammu.

Led by JKNPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh, the workers of the party staged a protest at the Exhibition Ground and raised anti-government slogans, besides shouting "Rohingyas, quit Jammu" and "Bangladeshis, go back".

They also torched an effigy of the Group of Ministers (GoM) constituted to look into the issue.

Addressing the media, Singh later claimed that the government acknowledged that Rohingyas and Bangladeshi immigrants had unlawfully settled in clusters on the outskirts of Jammu city and Samba with the help of NGOs and madrassas.

He further claimed that these settlers were under the continuous surveillance of the intelligence agencies.

Singh accused the settlers of indulging in drug- trafficking, flesh trade, abductions and other crimes, in spite of the state government saying that 17 FIRs were lodged against 38 Rohingyas for various offences, including illegal border-crossing.

He described the "soaring population" of Rohingyas as a "potential threat" to the demography of the Jammu region.
