JAMMU: Ch. Vikram Randhawa called for the complete deportation of Rohingyas, Bangladeshis to save Jammu. He raised serious concern on the uncontrolled mushrooming and the security and demographic change threats in Jammu. Ch. Vikram Randhawa, MLA Bahu accompanied by BJP District President Naresh Singh, senior leader Adv. Amrik Singh, Mandal President Surjit Singh, and Mandal General Secretary Ajay Sharma, addressed a press conference at party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

Comparing Bangladeshis and Rohingyas to the termites, Vikram Randhawa said that this infestation has engulfed entire Jammu region and the Bahu Assembly Constituency region is facing heat of this infestation. He questioned the settling down of this community specifically into the Jammu city which suggests a conspiracy to change the demography of Jammu region.

He noted that just a few families of Rohingyas have grown into thousands in these years. Many of them, now born in Jammu, have gained admissions into the schools. The mushrooming in their population and gaining access to the vital services raises many concerns in the local populace like posing a security threat and demographic change in Jammu.

We protested against this menace at every forum, on the roads and through the ‘Jammu Bachao Andolan’ movement. Many of Bangladeshis and Rohingyas were arrested but still multiplying, which suggests that they should be deported from India, back to their original habitat.

He cautioned against those persons, who provide safe heavens for these Bangladeshis and Rohingyas on their plots. He pointed out that some persons have even settled these Rohingyas in the ‘Jhuggis’ raised on the State Lands and collecting rent from these illegal settlers. He called for the cutting of electricity and water supplies from these illegal settlements. The persons giving shelter to these persons should be identified and dealt with by the iron hands.

Calling this as vicious anarchy, he asked the Divisional Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner Jammu, and SDM South, to identify these plots, their owners, verify their revenue records for their ownership, check for their rent records, and make these persons pay for crimes.

“During ‘Jammu Bachao Andolan’ movement, we found Aadhar Cards and Ration Cards in these settlements, which were submitted to the Administration at that point of time”, he said. He accused the administration of negligence, stressing that Bangladeshis and Rohingyas are found involved in the Drugs, Thefts and Sex Trafficking in the region.

He pointed that these can be found working with the Garbage collection Autos being used by JMC in Trikuta Nagar, Channi Himmat, areas touching Sainik Colony, Channi Rama, Gandhi Nagar, and others areas of the city. He accused them of doing Reiki of these areas and then doing thefts in the houses identified. He called for the increase of manpower in the local Police Posts to check these untoward incidents in the region.

“I shared this security threat with the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who expressed concern and assured measures”, said Randhawa adding that they are posing a threat to our children. He even shared the people’s suspicion of stealing and eating their pets by these Rohingyas and Bangladeshis. He called for strict and swift action on the grave issue by the LG, CM, Civil Administration and the Police Administration. He also called for cooperation from the local people by not employing these Rohingyas and Bangladeshis in their homes and commercial establishments.
