Mizoram govt issues order against issuing birth, death certificates to refugees

Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga approved the decision recently and [after] that our department issued the order on January 31, Hindustan Times reported quoting the director of Mizoram&rsquo;s economics and statistics department.

In an order issued on January 31, the Mizoram government has reportedly directed authorities against issuing birth and death certificates to refugees and undocumented immigrants from countries such as Myanmar to ensure there are no claims of citizenship from them, Hindustan Times reported.&nbsp;
The order came amid an influx of refugees from Myanmar since March last year following the military coup in that country.
Around 40,000 people from Myanmar are estimated to be living in the state. Hundreds of refugees from Bangladesh have also recently entered Mizoram.

Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday announced that around 1100 Rohingyas staying in tents will be shifted to EWS flats in Bakkarwal area of Delhi and provided with basic amenities.
Citing UN Refugee Convention, Puri tweeted, "India respects & follows UN  Refugee Convention 1951 & provides refuge to all, regardless of their race, religion or creed."
The announcement ensued a controversy with several right groups slamming the Cente for backtracking on its earlier claims that Rohingya Muslims were 'not refugees but illegal migrants.' 
Vishwa Hindu Parishad hit out at the Narendra Modi-led government for its move and asked it to reconsider the decision.
"Instead of providing the Rohingyas with housing, make arrangements to send them back and out of India," Alok Kumar, VHP Central working president told ANI.
Reacting sharply to the move, BJP's Tathagat Roy said Rohingya Muslims are illegal infiltratos not refugees under CAA.
"They are distinctly unwelcome even in Muslim-majority Bangladesh," he tweeted.
 Later, Union Home Ministry clarified that it has not given any directions to provide EWS flats to Rohingya illegal migrants at Bakkarwala in New Delhi.
"With respect to news reports in certain sections of media regarding Rohingya illegal foreigners, it is clarified that the MHA has not given any directions to provide EWS flats to Rohingya illegal migrants at Bakkarwala in New Delhi," an MHA spokesperson said.
The Ministry further said it has directed Delhi government to ensure that the Rohingya  illegal foreigners will  continue at the present location until their deportation as per law. 
On the proposed move by the Delhi government to shift the Rohingya Muslims to a new location, the MHA has directed the Delhi government to ensure that the Rohingya illegal foreigners remain at their present location as it has already taken up the matter of their deportation with the country concerned through the Ministry of External Affairs.
After their dwellings were gutted in fire twice in 2018 and 2021, Rohingya migrants have been living in tents provided by the Delhi government, The Indian Express reported.
The rehabilitation of Rohingya Muslims has been a controversial issue in India. BJP has often used the subject of 'illegal migration' to amass votes.
Rohingya, an ethnic group with a predominantly Muslim population hails from Western Myanmar province of Rakhine. They speak Bengali, not the commonly spoken Burmese language.
The United Nations has accused Myanmar of ethnic cleansing in Rakhine area. As a result of violence, about 5 lakh Rohingyas fled to Bangladesh, and approximately 40,000 moved to India.
Earlier, Union Home Ministry in Parliament stated that all Rohingyas in India were illegal immigrants and will be deported soon. In an advisory to state, the ministry said, "infiltration from Rakhine state of Myanmar into India poses security challenges."
The Hindu reportd that a case seeking prevention of deportation plans is also pending in Supreme Court 

Confusion over 'Rohingya re-settlement', Centre issues clarification

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri's tweet stating that Rohingya migrants staying in temporary settlements in Delhi will be shifted to flats meant for economically weaker sections in Bakkarwal area triggered a controversy

The United Nations has accused Myanmar of ethnic cleansing in Rakhine area. As a result of violence, about 5 lakh Rohingyas fled to Bangladesh, and approximately 40,000 moved to India.

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri's tweet stating that Rohingya migrants staying in temporary settlements in Delhi will be shifted to flats meant for economically weaker sections in&nbsp; Bakkarwal area triggered a controversy with BJP being accused of going back on its stance on the Myanmar refugees.&nbsp;
Puri had tweeted on Wednesday morning, &lsquo;India has always welcomed those who have sought refuge in the country. In a landmark decision all #Rohingya #Refugees will be shifted to EWS flats in Bakkarwala area of Delhi. They will be provided basic amenities, UNHCR IDs &amp; round-the-clock @DelhiPolice protection.'
In a second tweet, the union minister for Housing, Urban Affairs shared a news report stating the same.&nbsp;
The tweets led to AAP hitting out at the Modi govt which has maintained that Rohingya refugees are a threat to the nation and accusing it going back on its stand. The party said that it would not let the govt allocate any flats to the Rohingyas citing security threat.&nbsp;
The controversy led to the Home Ministry issuing a clarification that it had not given any directions to provide flats to Rohingya Muslims in Delhi and asked the Arvind Kejriwal government to ensure the illegal foreigners remained at their present location.
'With respect to news reports in certain sections of media regarding Rohingya illegal foreigners, it is clarified that the MHA has not given any directions to provide EWS flats to Rohingya illegal migrants at Bakkarwala in New Delhi,' according to a ministry statement.&nbsp;
'The illegal foreigners are to be kept in the detention centre till their deportation as per law. The government of Delhi has not declared the present location as a detention centre. They have been directed to do the same immediately,' the statement further read.
The Home Ministry in its statement also said that it was the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/india-news/delhi-govt-defers-relaxations-in-driving-test-here-s-why-1660018636624">Govt of Delhi </a>that had proposed shifting of Rohingya refugees to a new location.

In a press conference held by <a href="https://www.editorji.com/india-news/union-minister-gadkari-dropped-from-bjp-s-parliamentary-board-1660725483158">BJP</a>, its spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said the decision to shift Rohingyas was taken at meeting held on July 29 that was chaired by the Chief Secretary of Delhi.&nbsp;
&nbsp;He added "the law of our country says that Rohingyas will be deported and this jurisdiction lies with the Ministry of Home Affairs." The Modi government has a clear policy that there will be no compromise on national security, he said.
The AAP in return accused to the Modi govt of trying to pin blame on Delhi govt after facing flak. &nbsp;Delhi Deputy Chief Minister said that the Centre was trying to give permanent residence to Rohingyas secretly. He added that the decision taken during July 29 meeting was at the behest of the Centre.&nbsp;

Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta on Saturday asked residents of the city to inform the party about Rohingyas and Bangladeshis living illegally here so that action could be taken against them.
He claimed that around five lakh Rohingyas and Bangladeshis live in the city.
"Delhi people will have to come forward to deal with the problem of illegal Rohingyas and Bangladeshis living in Delhi," he said in a press conference.
"We appeal to the people of Delhi to tell us about the illegal Rohingyas and Bangladeshis settled near their area. The municipal corporations will take action against encroachment by them and we will also approach the police for action against them," Gupta said.
The Delhi BJP chief alleged that the AAP leaders, including its MLAs, were working towards identity cards such as AADHAAR and voter IDs to all the Rohingyas and Bangladeshis for vested interests.
