DELHI: Rohingyas, In Delhi’s Bakkarwala neighbourhood, apartments and police protection would be made available to Rohingya refugees. The minister of home affairs held a high-level meeting where the decision was made. Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri praised the choice and predicted that those who made a profession of “spreading canards on India’s refugee policy and purposely associating it to CAA will be disappointed.”
“Those who have sought asylum in India have always been welcomed. In a historic move, all Rohingya refugees would be relocated to EWS apartments in Delhi’s Bakkarwala neighbourhood. They will receive basic necessities, UNHCR identification cards, and 24-hour Delhi Police security “added the minister.
The minister tweeted, “India respects & observes the 1951 UN Refugee Convention & gives asylum to all, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, or faith.”
