Public sentiment is sharply polarized regarding the deportation of Rohingya refugees. A significant portion supports the government's stance, citing national security and economic concerns, viewing deportation as necessary to manage resources and demographics. Conversely, many express strong humanitarian objections, condemning the actions as inhumane and urging compassion for the refugees. The discourse reflects tensions between nationalist priorities and ethical obligations to assist those in need, with a notable criticism of perceived media hypocrisy regarding other refugee issues.

She is not left, she is Jihadi. She is just using the Left ecosystem. There are many such in journalism and politics.

Says the person who siphoned money raised for covid victims to her father and sister living in Dubai 👏🏻👏🏻 a corrupt, malicious, confused, pseudo secular, semi literate lady, who’s views are only given importance since she is a female, a Muslim, and writes in English. Left minerals have made a joke out of common citizens by using these scoundrels who writes in English (except rabies kumar, who is a different “jaat” all together).

If there is no accountability in journalism, all these lies are spread. Make them accountable for the news they publish. Punish them for spreading fake news. On one  hand they claim media is being chained, on the other hand they keep spreading lies.

Even if a single legitimate Indian citizen is languishing in detention centre, it is the collective failure of governance and us. (There are many people who have fallen through the cracks in Assam NRC process, as an Assamese, I am aware). It’s a moral problem of false positive.

People can down vote me if you want, but the story is quite sketchy, the claim that children, elderly and cancer patients swimming from middle of the ocean to coast is quite farfetched. 

International waters are around 12 km from the shore line. And this implies the people are dropped at least 12 km to the shore. And the shore at 12 km far isn't visible to the naked eye mostly. What I want to say here is that swimming to shore from the middle of the sea is quite impossible to do . So the story is claiming that all the children, elderly and cancer patients swam from middle of ocean is quite farfetched. 

This kind of reporting only tries to invoke emotional response in the readers. So either they are dropped amidst the ocean and they swam all across international waters or , Indian Navy breached international waters and dropped them near shore , so they survived. Or the story is fabricated.

One of the key international waters understanding is that if you see a sinking ship , as long as your shipmates and crew are safe, you need to rescue the overboard people, even if you are at war and the drowning people are your enemy. So this claims that they are thrown in the middle of the sea and are quite farfetched.

And not only the Rohingya crisis, but illegal immigration is a serious security risk for our citizens too. A lot of people here claim that India is a failed and dictator state for other religions. So why are all these people coming to India. And what if some anti Indian groups use this storyline to come into India and target Indians lives ? How can our security forces guarantee safety if we allow people into the country without checks and balances and a lot of people are commenting to give them shelter. But around 80 crore people are dependent on PDS for daily ration in India, So can we actually accommodate all these people in our country with our limited and scarce resources.?

India is not a party to UN Refugee convention of 1951 - that convention does not apply to India. India hosted 10 million East-Pakistanis when it mattered - they were a neighboring country with people undergoing genuine persecution. Not people crossing multiple borders, shopping for better economic opportunities. If they're doing that, they need to apply for a visa from a third country.

Simple practical reality is that people are no longer refugees, the minute they move beyond the safe harbour of a neighboring state. If anybody crosses more than one border - they are economic migrants, usually illegally. They should have gone to Bangladesh, their neighboring country, and remained there.

Similarly, the "refugees" fleeing Syria and Afghanistan for Europe are economic migrants the minute they move across their second international border away from danger at home.

WellOkayMaybe

They should be deported back to Myanmar asap but not in this way. Follow the legal and just way but deportation is must. We can't let anymore illegal rohingyas and bangladeshis in this country.

[deleted]

Atrocious. Absolutely ghastly. There can be no defence against this. Whoever thought this up and also whoever executed it must be prosecuted. If found guilty should suffer the severest of punishments. 

This is attempted murder. I don't care if they are citizens or illegal immigrants.

Liberated_Wisemonk

1) The “international law” that this article talks about is not applicable to India because India is not a party to UN Refugee convention of 1951. So the whole point about them having UNHCR cards is irrelevant under Indian law because we are not obligated to recognise them.

2) This proves that there is a government in Myanmar where they are not endangered and can be safely returned. Since there is territory in Myanmar where they are safe, they should all be removed to that territory forthwith.

Sumeru88

Refusing to stay any probable deportation of Rohingya refugees yet again, the Supreme Court on Friday pulled up the petitioner who claimed that a group was forcibly sent back and “pushed into a war zone” in Myanmar by the government, saying “it is a very beautifully crafted and drafted story” “when the country is passing through such a difficult time”.

Does or does not India, as a sovereign country, have the right to determine who can live and stay within our territory?

Does or does not India, like every other country, have the right to determine which migrants we want or who we don't?   


If you are a white Caucasian and citizen of any Western country, you can easily migrate to and live in another western country. It's OK, their country, their choice. 

If you, as an Indian citizen, want a tourist visa to the EU for just a week or so, you have to provide a pile of documents and subject yourself to an interview, or even more. They'll want your bank statement, assets etc., employment records and all just to satisfy themselves that you'll leave once your visa expires.

But how are WE expected to shelter "migrants" without any skills that we need, potential jihadists and terrorists and certainly a burden on our land, so that they can stay on indefinitely just because they call themselves "refugees"? Which law binds us to do that?

Jo kiya badhiya kiya. The more the better, keep doing it till our country is free of vermin.

Bjp is the most vile thing to have happened to India post independence

If they were thrown into the sea from a Naval vessel near the coast, they would be dead. What's gonna stop india from handcuffing them and throwing them on the shore proper. What kinda garbage article is this and have they ever seen a navy ship?

Props to Maktoob Media for bringing this to light. I didn’t believe them. I didn’t think our government could be this inhumane. We didn’t fucking gain anything by throwing innocent refugees into the sea sending them back to the hell they just escaped from.

Ambitious-Upstairs90

Supporting the deportation of illegal immigrants is one thing. But supporting this inhumane way of treating human beings is downright atrocious.

Sensitive-Raspberry5

I don't know why they have built up so much hatred against Rogingya and even Bangladeshis. Then we are surprised that Bangladesh has turned against us.

Visual-Maximum-8117

Disgusting, they should suspend all the people responsible for this, blacklist them from govt pension and schemes and put them in jail for attempted murder.

Absolutely barbaric by HMO of this has happened

Mysterious-Catch-320

&gt;Late last week, Indian authorities reportedly detained dozens of Rohingya refugees living in Delhi, many or all of whom held refugee identification documents.

&gt; Approximately 40 members of this group were reportedly blindfolded and flown to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and then transferred to an Indian naval ship, according to the statement by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
&gt; 
&gt; After the boat crossed the Andaman Sea, the refugees were reportedly given life jackets, forced into the sea, and made to swim to an island in Myanmar territory. The refugees are reported to have survived the swim to shore, but their current whereabouts and condition are unknown, it said.

Holy fuck.

Key_Door1467

The way refugees everywhere are being treated since 2015ish will be a black mark on this generation and in the history books.

The post on this topic in worldnews is disgusting, the right wing in India are insane

The Indian Supreme Court disagrees, apparently:

&gt;"There is absolutely no material in support of the vague, evasive and sweeping statements made. Unless the allegations are supported with some prima facie material, it is difficult for us to sit over an order passed by a larger bench," the bench observed.

India is a major problem.

  
They have not released one single piece of evidence pointing Pakistan is at fault for their terror attacks (I would hope evidence like that would be ironclad and released worldwide) and they just decided to bomb some random villages in Pakistan.

  
Hope somebody can make them understand that this behaviour should and will have consequences.

hemijaimatematika1

we don't need any more illegal migrants.... send them back!

Accomplished-Ad539

Posts on illegal immigration always seem to attract the dung beetles among Indians.

And the irony is that most of the talking points in matters relating to illegal immigration are actually beautifully crafted stories like the Supreme Court says.

Unless you show evidence in court, Court will not accept it. In this case it is impossible to get evidence. 
I neither trust Indian authorities or the Rohingyas. The humanity of Indian authorities is well known to every Indian. The way they treat there own citizens, I shudder at how they are gonna treat non citizens

However Rohingyas  and lot of NGO has every reason to exaggerate and make Indian Authorities look cruel
Its only going to get worse as more Rohingyas try to move to India from Bangladesh. I dont really see  a good ending here for them and no country is going to accept them

Noobodiiy

We don't care about illegal immigrants,If they got their nation why don't they live there why increase burden on india

it's not india's responsibility to spoon feed them and the next moment they turn against us and starts to build administration 

like paxtani did in UK

Mother_Asparagus4229

Why were we up in arms when US deported illegal Indians

Rohingyas have a better case than the Indians illegally entering America

Display of Indian hypocrisy

Life_Machine_9694

They are only referring to the case of rohingya being thrown in water. They are not denying rohingya refugees as a whole.

The title is misleading.

kingrandom550

Only_Luck4055

In a country with 1.5 bil population a few lac Robingyas should not pose any big prob( except security issues like terror connection etc). However, why did govt let them enter at the very first place?Not that we don't have border security. And if did, then there is no point politicizing it and creating panic.
