RSS idealogue seeks deportation of Rohingyas in Supreme Court

KN Govindacharya, a former BJP leader and RSS ideologue filed a petition in the Supreme Court on Friday seeking the deportation of Rohingyas saying that letting them stay could lead to another partition.

Govindacharya's petition — the second petition in the apex court — seeking the expulsion of the beleaguered community, said that there is a "population explosion" in India, which is taking a heavy toll on the already-strained resources of the country. "It is evident that in such circumstances if more people are permitted within the Union of India, it would create chaos and anarchy, which would be violative of Article 21 of the Constitution for Indian citizens," the petition read.

Furthermore, Govindacharya submitted that the Al-Qaeda is trying to use the Rohingya Community for terror and jihad and if the Rohingya Muslims are allowed to stay, it would lead to another partition.

The petition also suggested that since Prime Minister Narendra Modi was discussing the issue during his recent visit to Myanmar, it has now become an executive decision and should not be dealt by the judiciary since any decision taken would impact "foreign relations".
