Ch. Vikram Randhawa, MLA Bahu accompanied by BJP district president, Naresh Singh, senior leader, Amrik Singh, Mandal president, Surjit Singh, and Mandal general secretary, Ajay Sharma, addressed a press conference at party Headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, here.
Terming Bangladeshis and Rohingyas a grave threat, Vikram Randhawa said that this infestation has engulfed entire Jammu region and the Bahu Assembly constituency region is facing heat of this infestation.
He questioned the settling down of this community specifically into the Jammu city which suggests a conspiracy to change the demography of Jammu region.
He noted that just a few families of Rohingyas have grown into thousands in these years. Many of them, now born in Jammu, have gained admissions into the schools.
The mushrooming in their population and gaining access to the vital services raises many concerns in the local populace like posing a security threat and demographic change in Jammu.
“We protested against this menace at every forum, on the roads and through the ‘Jammu Bachao Andolan’ movement. Many of Bangladeshis and Rohingyas were arrested but still multiplying, which suggests that they should be deported from India, back to their original habitat.
He cautioned against those persons, who provide safe heavens for these Bangladeshis and Rohingyas on their plots. He pointed out that some persons have even settled these Rohingyas in the ‘Jhuggis’ raised on the State lands and collecting rent from these illegal settlers. He called for the cutting of electricity and water supplies to these illegal settlements.
