Supreme Court bench, headed by new CJI , honourable Justice Ranjan
Gogoi, has rightly rejected a frivolous PIL by SC lawyer Prashant
Bhushan to stall the deportation of seven Rohingyas , who had illegally
entered India. Being from ASSAM , who would know about Rohingya and
Bangla Deshi refugee problem better than him. Delhi- based lawyers like
Prashant Bhushan and his elk of Human Rights organisations would never
feel the pangs of pain given by the refugees to the common man in Assam
and other North Eastern states. It is estimated that some 50
Lakhs illegal Rohingya and Bangla Deshis have sneaked into India over
the last few years. Unfortunately , the vote bank politics of Indian
politicians made them turn a blind eye towards this illegal influx. What
is worse is the fact that more than 10-15000 have been settled in the
sensitive Jammu region, where NO Indian citizen can acquire property
because of Article 35 A of the constitution. What a double standard of
Kashmiri politicians? Central government has rightly taken a decision to
deport them. They are not only a burden on the meagre resources of the
country but they are a potential threat to demographic profile of the
nation.
They are a threat to national security, too. It is believed that Sunjuwan (near Jammu) terrorist attack in 2017 was facilitated by Rohingyas settled around the military garrison at Sunjuwan. It is further alleged, in some quarters, that ‘Kathua rape case’ was deliberately orchestrated by Kashmiri leaders to divert attention from resentment of local populace on Rohingyas being settled in Jammu region. Some even claim that it was being done to change the demographic profile of the region .
Rohingya Muslim hail from Rakhine (Arakans) province of Myanmar. They were reported to be around million plus before Myanmar army struck against them. Myanmar Government states that Rohingyas are illegal immigrants from the British colonial rule in South Asia. It is stated that some 400,000 have entered Bangla Desh over the last few weeks. Their footfalls are in all countries of the region, from South East Asia to South Asia such as Nepal, India and Pakistan.
The Rohingya people are a Muslim minority group hailing from the Rakhine state, earlier famously known as Arakan. The Rohingya people have been branded as “stateless entities” by the Myanmar government. The Burmese authorities have been declining to recognise them as one of the ethnic groups of the country. Therefore, the Rohingya people lack legal protection from the Government of Myanmar . They are, thus, regarded as mere refugees from Bangladesh. To run away from the desperate conditions in Myanmar, the Rohingya try to illegally enter Southeast Asian states and South Asian Nations, begging for humanitarian support from potential host countries.
The problem escalated on 08 June 2012 when Rohingyas radicals started to burn Rakhine's Buddhist and other ethnic houses after returning from Friday's prayers in Maungdaw township. More than a dozen residents were killed in this riot by Rohingya Muslims. State of emergency was declared in Rakhine, allowing military to participate in administration of the region. Thus by August 2012, there had been reportedly 88 casualties – 57 Muslims and 31 Buddhists. Another estimate put 90,000 people were displaced by the violence. Further it is recorded that 2,528 houses were burned; of which, some 1,336 belonged to Rohingyas and 1,192 belonged to Rakhines province.
Rohingya problem in Myanmar took a serious turn, when on 25 August 2017, Rohingyas Muslims militants, aided and equipped by ISIS, attacked 30 police stations in Arakans. It became obvious that ISIS had made an inroad into Rakhine province in Myanmar.
This raised the heckles of Chinese government. China, as part of its OBOR project (One belt one Road) is developing the Eastern connection of its BRI (Belt Road Initiative) to Sittwe port of Myanmar in Arakan province on Bay of Bengal. It became obvious that ISIS had made an inroad into Rakhine province in Myanmar. It seems China asked Myanmar to check this menace as it presented a serious threat to Chinese assets. Thus, Myanmar Army launched operations against Rohingyas Militants, which led exodus of Rohingyas to Bangla Desh. Their poverty and deprivation makes them easy recruitment target by ISI of Pakistan for their nefarious designs in Kashmir as well as rest of India.
Fleeing Rihingyas entered India through Bangladesh and some were quietly imported to the state of J& K by vested interests. There are around 40,000 in India. Indian government wants to deport them but a litigation was filed in SC to stall their deportation on the human rights plea. SC, in its interim order on 13 October 2017, suggested to Government of India adopt a balanced approach mixing security and human rights. However, Human rights are inversely proportional to national security. More human rights, less of national security but more of chaos and disorder.
Around 10,000 Rohingyas Muslims have been settled in Jammu region of J& K over the last few years. They are distributed in 23 camps. They have been probably settled there by a political party to use them as a vote bank. Surprisingly, when Indian citizens are debarred under Articles 35 A and 370 to buy land and property in J& K , how come illegal immigrants from a foreign country are allowed to settle in Jammu? Indian politics is very strange. It seems politicians can stoop very low for short term political gains. Being in Jammu, Rohingyas are easily available for recruitment by the "terror tanzeems" of Pakistan.
Therefore, those who support Rohingya immigrants to be allowed to stay in India are actually tempering with the National Security. They must know where National Security begins, human rights end. It is not only applicable for the refugees but also the Indian citizens. The stance of NHRC is not only faulty but out of sync with the pre- requisites of national security and integrity.
It is recommended to support Central Government stand and strongly recommend that SC must not interfere on matters of National security. It must stop wasting time in such frivolous litigations. In fact, it is time that strictures passed on the NHRC for supporting such dangerous issues which threaten the integrity of the nation.
Intelligence Indications are available that most of the Rohingyas leaders in India have been cultivated by ISI of Pakistan and "Jihadi Outfits" of Pakistan. A British National, with Bangla deshi passport has been arrested who was recruited by the Al Quaeda to train Muslims in the North East in acts of sabotage. Again, another ISI recruiter has been arrested in Chennai on 18 September 2017. Poverty and persecution make easy recruits for religious fundamentalism.
Political leaders who are shouting at the top of their voice in favour of Rohingyas are actually not only short sighted but smack of evil designs. There is a motivated campaign to create hurdles in their eviction. Even Bangla Desh sees these refugees a security threat. It is the responsibility of the Myanmar Government to settle them.
Human rights organisations, such as NHRC and UNHRC must ask themselves as to why are they being persecuted in Myanmar. It is Budhist country, generally peaceful, why would they get after the Rohingya Muslims in the Rakhine Region (Arakan) of Myanmar. The genesis of the problem lay in radicalism of Rohingya Muslims and their attacks on Burmese Budhists. It has been happening for the last few years. Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who herself had been in exile as a victim of military persecution for decades, must have reasons to start a military crackdown on the Rohingyas.
The problem is with radicalisation of some Rohingyas in Arakans which forced the hand of Myanmar Government for a military crack down. It is but natural that common people suffer because they remain silent spectators of their radicals / militants horrendous acts of terror. If you see this issue with this in mind, you will definitely support Indian Government of its decision. We can not show human concern for people who support radicals amongst them.
Unfortunately common people and militants do not roam with head bands. It is not easy to separate chaff from wheat. Human rights apply to only legitimate Indian citizens. India can not endanger its national security on an emotional logic of human rights if some, whose parent country itself is not bothered. There is no place for them in India, who is already bursting at seams with such problems of radicalism. It will be adding fuel to fire if the Rohingyas are allowed to stay in India
