Rohingyas will never be accepted as Indian citizens: Shah


New Delhi, Dec 10 (IANS): Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in the Lok Sabha on Monday that the Centre will never touch Article 371 and that Rohingyas will never be accepted as citizens of India.

Shah made the remarks while speaking in the debate over the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, which was tabled in the Lower House on Monday.

"Rohingyas will never be accepted as citizens of India. They infiltrated India through Bangldesh. The came from Myanmar," Shah said.

"There is a difference between Article 370 and Article 371. Article 371 does not give flag to anyone. We will never touch Article 371. I am assuring this to the whole northeast region," the Home Minister said.

After the government abrogated Article 370 that granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, Article 371, which has special provisions for other states, primarily from the northeast region, has gained attention.

    Going by the records of the Rohingya, they are anti nationals. Down the road, we will have eastern khlistan front. I agree with Shah.

    Yes Charan, you don't know about Middle East sitting in Mangalore I dont think you ever stepped out of the country .

    In Oman Khimji's, Kothari's etc has been given, in UAE Mohan Jashanmall has been given same in Kuwait and other ME countries where merit is not religion.

    they have not given thousand of expats citizen ship like US whether its muslim or non muslim but what Amit Shah is doing totaoly biased towards one community

    and its a danger for the country. we are secular nation and our leader like Baba Saheb has made the constitution secular.

    If Ahmadiyyas, Shias, or Baluchis continue to be persecuted in Pakistan, or Hazaras in Afghanistan and the Rohingya in Myanmar for example, as inauthentic, or non-Muslims, they too may not claim refugee status in India. That's the grave double standard and exposing agenda and even the timings of the bill also believed to be questionable when country's economy hitting the headlines on media.
