Nagpur/Sept,30: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat Saturday asked the central government to keep national security in mind while taking a decision on Rohingyas who are seeking shelter in the country.
“We have been facing the problem of illegal Bangladeshi migrants and now Rohingyas have infiltrated into our country,” Bhagwat said while addressing the RSS’ annual Dussehra event.
Giving shelter to Rohingyas will not only put pressure on our jobs, but also pose a threat to national security, he said.
“Any decision regarding Rohingyas should be taken by keeping in mind the threat to national security,” he said referring to the people who have fled from violence-hit Rakhine state in Myanmar.
On the Kashmir issue, Bhagwat said the problems of the people, who were displaced from the Kashmir Valley in 1990s, are yet to be addressed.
“Necessary constitutional amendments will have to be made and old provisions will have to be changed in that state,” he said at the event, where BJP patriarch L K Advani and Union minister Nitin Gadkari were among those present.
“Only when the constitutional amendments are done, can the residents of Jammu and Kashmir be completely assimilated with the rest of India,” Bhagwat said, apparently hinting at Article 370 which gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
