Hindustan Times  

The Karnataka governmenton Mondaytold the Supreme Court that it has not taken any action against the six dozen Rohingya refugees identified by the police, nor does it have any plan to deport them. SC on Rohingya refugees in Karnataka “Bengaluru city police have not housed Rohingyas in any camp or detention centre within its jurisdiction. In March this year, in a separate batch of cases, where some of the Rohingya refugees sought protection from deportation and also their release from detention centres, the Union ministry of home affairs asserted that India cannot become “the international capital of illegal immigrants” while terming the Rohingya “absolutely illegal immigrants” who posed “serious threats to the national security”. In April this year, the Supreme Court had refused to stop the deportation of at least 150 Rohingya refugees detained in a Jammu prison to Myanmar in the wake of Centre’s submissions that Rohingyas cannot press for a fundamental right not to be deported and rather settle in India since right to residence is reserved only to the citizens of the country. Following the Union government’s submissions advanced through Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, the Supreme Court on April 8 dismissed a plea to stop their deportation or release them from the detention centre.
