During Wednesday’s election campaign, BJP leader and Union Minister Smriti Irani cited a report from an Indian national television channel that said it had been recommended that the names of “illegal Bangladeshis” be added to the list. of voters in a printed notebook with the names of the leaders of the Muslim political party MIM
The BJP has blamed Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi and the Telangana government for accommodating the Rohingya and “Bangladeshis living illegally”. Although BJP leaders have long raised the issue of suspected Bangladeshi infiltrators in two Bangladeshi border states, Assam and West Bengal, as a voting matter, the issue of suspected Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators was also raised in the elections. municipalities in the city of Hyderabad, in the extreme south of India.
BJP Telangana State President and MP Bandi Sanjay, speaking in Telugu at an election rally, said: “As soon as our party wins the municipal elections, the Rohingya and Pakistanis will be expelled from the old city of Hyderabad through a surgical attack “.
Furthermore, he alleged that the RMIM Telangana State Association was trying to win the elections by obtaining the votes of two Rohingya, Pakistanis and Afghans.
MIM party chief and deputy from Hyderabad, Asaduddin YC, responded to the allegations in another public meeting. Asaduddin Waisir said: “The BJP alleges that there are 30,040,000 Rohingya in Hyderabad or on the voters list. If there are 30,000 Rohingya in Hyderabad, what is Amit Shah doing? Is asleep? He is the Minister of the Interior, he has to see how the names of 30-40 thousand Rohingya are put on the voters list!
Union Minister Smriti Irani went to Hyderabad on Wednesday to campaign for the party’s candidates amid controversy over Bundy Sanjay’s speech on Rohingya and illegal Bangladeshis.
He stated at a press conference that a local television channel had shown that a Rohingya Muslim openly thanked the MIM and the Prime Minister of Telangana for putting his name on the voters list. A report on a national channel showed that the names of the MIM leaders had been written on a printed notebook so that the names of illegal Bangladeshis could be added to the voters list.
12-13 show Rohingya refugee families have been living in Hyderabad for 6-7 years. Eighty-five percent of them build huts on private land and earn their living from manual labor. One such Rohingya refugee is Nur Bashar. It said: ‘No political party has come to us and said,’ Come to the party and get your citizenship or put your name on the voter list. ‘ But such news has been shown in some media.
‘The problem is the language. Most Rohingya refugees do not understand the local language. And once in front of me I saw journalists asking some political questions. The journalist asked someone if his name was on the voter list, ‘a refugee said’ yes’. He asked again, “Are you grateful to MIM and the Chief Minister for this?” He said, “Yes.” Nur Bashar was reporting.
Members of the Rohingya group say almost all have identification cards issued by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Those who do not have that identity card, their age is under 18 years. The Rohingya also say that they can obtain identity cards only when they are adults. As was the case with Nur Bashar’s younger brother.
But the question suddenly arises as to why the issue of illegal immigrants, Rohingya, was raised in the Hyderabad municipal elections. Analysts say the BJP has raised the issue, not the Hyderabad municipal vote. But his real goal is to prepare the ground for the assembly elections three years later.
Sriram Kari, resident editor of the English-language daily Deccan Chronicle in Hyderabad, said: “Looking at the Assembly polls three years later, the BJP is now targeting the state government. That is why they have started trying to divide the Hindu-Muslim narrative.
“And the old city of Hyderabad, the area where Asaduddin YC’s MIM is politically controlled, is trying to spread the theory that the YC party is harboring Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Rohingya living illegally,” explained Sriram Karir.
But he also said: ‘It’s very unfortunate. Roads, lights, water, the medical system are the issues that will be debated in the municipal elections. Instead, a far-reaching issue was raised: illegal immigration, the Rohingya.
Despite threats to expel the BJP leaders, the local Rohingya refugees are not particularly upset. They say they all have valid documents from the Delhi office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Therefore, they have said that they will abide by the decision made by the Indian government. Source: BBC
