New Delhi: Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju today hit out at the countries criticizing India on its handling of the Rohingya Muslim refugees from Myanmar.
“This chorus of branding India as a villain on Rohingya issue is a calibrated design to tarnish India’s image.
It undermines India’s security,” Mr Rijiju tweeted.
His comments came a day after India strongly reacted to the observation of UN Human Rights Council chief Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein over its handling of Rohingya issue, Jammu and Kashmir situation and religious intolerance, saying assessment of human rights should not be a matter of political convenience.
In his response to the observations of the UN Human Rights chief, India’s Permanent Representative to UN at Geneva Ambassador Rajiv K Chander had said ‘’Tendentious judgements made on the basis of selective and even inaccurate reports do not further the understanding of human rights in any society,’’ he said.
