Manish Sisodia said the Centre was in the morning calling the move to shift Rohingyas to EWS category flats in the city as its achievement, but later started shifting the blame on the Delhi government after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) opposed it.
The BJP-led Centre was 바카라secretly바카라 trying to give 바카라permanent residence바카라 to Rohingya refugees in the national capital, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Wednesday alleged, rejecting the Union home ministry바카라s claim that it was the Delhi government바카라s proposal.
He also said the Centre was in the morning calling the move to shift Rohingyas to EWS category flats in the city as its 바카라achievement바카라, but later started shifting the blame on the Delhi government after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) opposed it.
Without taking names, Sisodia alleged that the Delhi police and some officials had taken the decision to provide the Rohingyas permanent residence in the city on the instructions of Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena and at the behest of the Union government.
They were sending the proposal to Saxena for his approval without bringing it to the knowledge of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the city home minister, he added. Sisodia asserted that the Kejriwal dispensation will not let this "conspiracy바카라 to illegally settle Rohingyas in Delhi succeed.
Amid a row over the issue, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued a clarification denying any such move and said the Delhi government had proposed to shift the Rohingyas to a new location, but it has been directed to ensure the "illegal foreigners" remain in detention centres pending their extradition.
Reacting to the ministry바카라s statement, Sisodia said in a tweet in Hindi, 바카라The central government, which was not tired of describing the news (about shifting of Rohingyas) as its achievement in the morning, has now started putting the responsibility of it on the Delhi government after the Aam Aadmi Party opposed such a step.
바카라Whereas it is a fact that the central government was secretly trying to give permanent residence to the Rohingyas in Delhi,바카라 he added.
In another tweet, Sisodia said, 바카라At the behest of the central government and on the instruction of the L-G, the officers and the police took decision (to shift Rohingyas) and it (the proposal) was being sent to L-G for his approval, without bringing it to the knowledge of the chief minister and home minister of Delhi.
"The Delhi government will not let this conspiracy to illegally settle Rohingyas in Delhi succeed," he added.
A political row erupted after Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs, Hardeep Singh Puri said Rohingya refugees will be shifted to apartments in Bakkarwala in outer Delhi and will also be provided basic amenities and police protection.
EWS (economically weaker section) flats have been constructed by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and are located in the Bakkarwala area near Tikri border.
"India has always welcomed those who have sought refuge in the country. In a landmark decision all Rohingya Refugees will be shifted to EWS flats in Bakkarwala area of Delhi. They will be provided basic amenities, UNHCR IDs & round-the-clock Delhi Police protection," Puri tweeted.
The minister also hit out at those who had criticised the country's refugee policy and said that such people would be disappointed with the move.
"Those who made a career out of spreading canards on India바카라s refugee policy deliberately linking it to CAA will be disappointed. India respects & follows UN Refugee Convention 1951 & provides refuge to all, regardless of their race, religion or creed," Puri said in another tweet.
The ruling AAP in Delhi slammed the Centre over the move and termed shifting of Rohingyas a "big threat" to national security and Delhiites, saying it will not allow it to happen at any cost.
바카라With the minister바카라s announcement, the BJP government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi stands exposed today... This poses a big threat to the national security and to the Delhiites as well,바카라 AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj said in a press conference, reacting to Puri's tweets.
바카라We the countrymen and Delhiites, at least, will not let them settle down here at any cost. No matter what the central government does, we will not let the government allocate flats to them,바카라 he said. Bhardwaj said the prime minister may consider settling the refugees down in any of the BJP-ruled states if he wants.
"Give EWS flats, bungalows or whatever you want. We won't allow allocation of flats to them in Delhi at all," he added.
