JAMMU, Aug 1: Flaying the Union and the previous BJP-PDP alliance for delay and deny tactics over the deportation of Rohingyas and Bangladeshis from Jammu region amid brewing public anger, a strong contingent of National Panthers Party activists led by its chairman Harsh Dev Singh staged a protest demonstration at Exhibition Ground, here today.
The peeved protesters while launching a scathing attack on BJP asked the Central Govt to come out with a concrete action plan to deport these unlawful foreign immigrants to their native countries without any further delay.

While addressing the media, Harsh Dev Singh said that each time a demand was raised for their deportation, the Home Ministry came out with the stereotype reply that States had been asked to carry out their enumeration and collect biometric details. He said this time the reply in Parliament by MHA had further given indications of involving External Affairs Ministry also in the process and suggesting thereby that no action had been initiated till date to evict the illegally settled foreigners in the State.
Describing the Rohingyas as the biggest threat to the communal harmony and composite culture of Jammu Pradesh, he said that their settlement in Jammu and provision of all facilities to them despite Govt considering them as illegal immigrants was also a subject matter of probe. He said that despite their proven links with the militant outfits and their suspected role in terror attacks, the Central Govt besides erstwhile BJP partnered State Govt had not responded to the alarming situation which had vitiated peace and caused public unrest in the entire region. Despite several directives from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the BJP in the coalition remained dormant and turned a blind eye on the issue to please its Kashmir centric ally for the greed of power.
Accusing the Congress, BJP, NC, PDP of facilitating Rohingyas settlement in the State, Harsh Dev further pointed out that previous saffron flavoured Govt in the State was squarely responsible for providing civic amenities to them. He said these illegal foreign immigrants had soared under BJP rule with thousands of Rohingyas camping in Jammu and Samba districts. They had illegally raised fabricated slums at several congested colonies in Jammu city and managed to procure PRCs, Aadhar cards, Ration cards, free water connections under the tutelage of the previous dispensation. They were provided around 8000 electricity connections in their localities on a negligible tariff which was nearly ‘free’ as per the disclosures made in an RTI reply. He demanded that these people should be thrown out without any delay.
