NEW DELHI: With terror outfits like Islamic State, al-Qaida, Lashker-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad actively egging on Muslims in the Indian subcontinent to avenge alleged 'atrocities' in opposition to their Rohingya 'brothers' by means of Buddhists in Myanmar, the issue of heightened risk to Buddhist religious websites in India used to be mentioned at the assembly of police chiefs held in Tekanpur previous this month.
Union house minister Rajnath Singh himself raised the issue in his speech, cautioning that with nearly 40,000 illegal Rohingya immigrants settled in India, there is a want to be alert to attempts by means of jihadi outfits to achieve out to them and set up a terrorist nexus with them.
He mentioned that there have been many Buddhist websites and settlements in India and referred to as for heightened vigil there.
A sequence of bomb blasts happened at Bodh Gaya pilgrimage website in 2013, which have been later discovered to be the handiwork of Ranchi module of the Indian Mujahideen, an indigenous group of terrorists subsidized by means of Lashker e Taiba-ISI community. On Friday, two bombs had been discovered again at Bodh Gaya shrine.
During subsequent discussions in the DGP conference, it used to be agreed that Rohingya settlers in the nation want to be monitored for signs of radicalisation and any links with terrorist teams. Stress used to be laid on fighting further infiltration of Rohingyas from Myanmar and Bangladesh, apart from cracking down on present 'immigration tout networks' who facilitate their entry and agreement in India.
Though the home ministry steered the states to identify Rohingya immigrants for possible deportation in August ultimate year, its implementation is not observed as simple given the human rights issues involved. Rohingyas proceed to face hostility and risk of persecution in their house province of Rakhine in Myanmar.
