The Central Government has informed the Delhi High Court that there is contemporaneous data from security agencies’ inputs and other authentic material indicating linkages of some of the unauthorized Rohingya migrants with Pakistan-based terror organisations and similar organizations operating in other countries.
Over and above the serious security concerns already in existence, the more disturbing part is that there is an organized influx of illegal migrants from Myanmar through agents and touts facilitating illegal Rohingya migrants into India via Benapole-Haridaspur (West Bengal), Hilli (West Bengal), and Sonamora (Tripura), Kolkata, and Guwahati. This situation is seriously harming the country’s national security, stated the affidavit filed by the Centre Government in the Delhi High Court. The illegal influx of Rohingyas in significant numbers has started into the territory of India since 2012-2013, stated the affidavit.
It is also submitted that due to an already existing large influx of illegal immigrants from the neighboring countries, the demographic profile of some of the bordering states has already undergone a serious change, which is already causing far-reaching complications in various contexts, is taking its toll, and has a direct detrimental effect on the fundamental and basic human rights of the country’s own citizens.
