NEW DELHI: The Border Security Force has apprehended 87 Rohingyas until October 31 this yr on the India-Bangladesh border out of which 76 have already been pushed back to Bangladesh.
Interacting with media individuals at the once a year conference of the power, BSF director common KK Sharma stated, "Rohingya issue is a complicated one. Our policy is to push them back and not arrest them. If we arrest anyone trying to infiltrate into India, then they become a liability and then there has to be a process of identifying them. So we just push them back".
"As per my information, there are 9-10 lakh Rohingyas in Bangladesh and the possibility of their spillover to India cannot be ruled out so our policy is to push them back," stated KK Sharma.
Sharma, on the other hand, claimed that not one of the Rohingyas apprehended via them had been found to be linked with any terror organization.
The intelligence businesses have claimed that one of the most Rohingyas have linked with terror groups like ISIS and LeT.
Sharma also stated that BSF males are not qualified sufficient to distinguish between the facial options and language of different roughly people infiltrating into India from the India-Bangladesh border.
To regulate the situation on the India-Bangladesh border, BSF has also proposed raising 5 more battalions for enhanching deployment on inclined routes of infiltration.
About why Rohingyas are trying to come to India, BSF stated in a remark, "The interrogation of apprehended Rohingyas has revealed that they have been staying in refugee camp at Cox's Bazaar in Bangladesh where there is no basic amenities available so they do not want to settle there."
"Agents allure these Rohingyas with good job opportunities in India and tell them that they will work with their own Muslim community in some of the states such as Jammu and Kashmir, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. They assure them to facilitate their cross-border movement and ensure safe arrival at their destination in lieu of some amount. Most of the Rohingyas go to Jammu because some Rohingyas have already been staying there for the last few years," says BSF.
"Apart from being a natural choice due to its Muslim majority, the Rohingyas say that they pick Jammu and Kashmir due to economic considerations and most of them follow the same pattern," says BSF.
"Once a Rohingya reaches Jammu, he stays there for a few months and then invites other relatives, informing them of job opportunities and better pay. In rare cases, if some of the Rohingyas do not get permanent job, they go to another state for earning money or to settle there," the BSF remark says.
