KATHUA: Union minister Jitendra Singh today called for a thorough probe into the “antecedents” of Rohingya Muslims and Bangladeshi settlers in Jammu and Kashmir.
“There is a need for a probe into the antecedents of these settlers in Jammu and Kashmir,” he told reporters here after a function.
The Union Minister of State in the PMO also pointed towards the habitations of Bangladeshis and migrants from Myanmar in Jammu and said there was a need to inquire the reason behind their stay here.
“Why some people, who have vested interests, have not objected to their stay in Jammu while continuously raising questions on the issuance of identity cards to West Pakistani refugees,” Singh said, adding, “I think, they want a demographic change in the State by supporting these foreigners staying here.” (AGENCIES)
