Addressing the media, Harsh Dev said that Rohingyas and Bangladeshi immigrants had been unlawfully settled in clusters along the outskirts of Jammu city and Samba by several NGOs and Madrassas as per the disclosures made by the State Government. Fearing these foreigners being prone to ‘Jehadi extremism’ in the militancy hit State, he revealed that they were under the continuous surveillance of the intelligentsia who described them as ‘ticking time bombs”.
He revealed that they were reportedly indulging in drug trafficking, flesh trade, child abductions, begging and other crimes withstanding the confession of the State Government that 17 FIRs had been registered against 38 Rohingyas for various offences including illegal border crossing. He said that there have been further reports of LeT operatives travelling from Pakistan to Bangladesh and Burma for recruiting Rohingya youth for terror and the elimination of terrorist named ‘Chot Burmi’ in Tral last year had established the alarming fact.
Further reports have been carried by the media wherein two Rohingians Mohd Saleem and Mustafa Kamaal were apprehended on Oct 29, 2016 by a team of Railway police at Barauni Railway Junction and upon their interrogation they had disclosed that their infiltration had been facilitated by a group of people who wanted them to carry out anti- india activities in J&K.
Describing the soaring population of Rohingyas as a potential threat to the demography of Jammu region, Harsh Dev said that the mass exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley followed by hegemony of separatists in Kashmir, glorification of militants, incentives and jobs to stone pelters amid the unlawful settlement of immigrants in the city of temples was undoubtedly manipulative and dangerous.
Yash Pal Kundal, Pawan Dev Singh, Gagan Pratap, Nirmal Kishore, Mohinder Singh and Arun Khajuria also spoke on the occasion.
