The Rohingya Menace

[vinamr_s]

Where can I find the full-text of the SOP GoI uses to deal with foreign nationals claiming to be refugees? Has it been made public?

As a response to questions by MPs ([Shashi Tharoor](https://www.mha.gov.in/MHA1/Par2017/pdf ... 23%20E.pdf) & [Anil Dave](https://pib.gov.in/newsite/PrintRelease ... lid=108152)), the MoS (Home) has repeatedly mentioned about the existence & circulation of a Standard Operating Procedure it uses to deal with foreigners claiming to be foreign nationals.

Has this SOP been made public? I’m not able to find its text on the internet.

This needs to be spread far and wide, mass graves of hindus found in rakhine killed by Rohingya's :/

Admin's please remove the link of the organisation that was initially silent on the massacre of Hindus and later on when the blame exposed them they did write a small article. Please remove that whole link and use links from other sources

Had found it that day only. If anyone else wants to have a look: https://www.mha.gov.in/PDF_Other/AnnexVI_01022018.pdf p.10

The ongoing SIR is revealing many illegal immigrants in India.

The ongoing SIR is revealing many illegal immigrants in India.

Ramanaji, interestingly came across a doom and gloom news article on the BBC on the human cost on poll workers caused by the SIR. Was wondering whet was behind this. Your post seems to indicate that there is major aches and pains being caused to the usual suspects due to SIR.

The ongoing SIR is revealing many illegal immigrants in India.

And that is the reason there is an active campaign in media showing the "plight" of the BLOs who are involved in the SIR. It is following the same route of how media campaigned against demonetisation. News about BLOs committing suicide (due to work load), having heart attacks (due to SIR again) is getting reported by the MSM with vested interest. This is more in states which has non-BJP governments, and the state government staff unions are with the party who rules the state (CPI(M) in socialist heaven KL, and TMC in WB).

[Prem Kumar]

The real people having a heart attack are the INDI Alliance leaders, after seeing illegals being weeded out

Couple of observations seeing this story pan out over the last few weeks:

1. Yes it is hurting entrenched interests and hence the emergence of reports. ToI, NDTV, Indian Express, The Hiindu, Matrubhumi, India Today, The Print, ET.
2. Most of the reports seem to be highlighted from contentious states where the NDA parties are not in power.
3. There definitely is khujli in the nether parts of the usual suspects.

However, despite this I have been trying to find first hand reports corroborating the news of a mass exodus of B'deshis in my home state of West Bengal. Seems to be exaggerated, and in reality it seems that the TMC has managed to mitigate the SIR processes effects. And these protests and news are just for lip service. The insight that I was given is that the TMC and ilk are actually leveraging the SIR to legitimize the illegal migrants- Kind of put a government approval seal on their Indian citizenship,

Does anyone have any similar information, or, opposing information. Keen to hear.

The TMC would probably be happy that their beedi and rohingya votebank which is spread all across India is being assembled in WB, on central goverment costs, just in time for the elections

There are court orders which clearly say that Voter ID or Aadhaar Cards are NOT proof of Indian citizenship so Mamata's plans may not actually work out. Though a voter ID card brings in a bit more legitamacy. Even though Rohingyas and Beedis are a threat to India, they may not be able to cause much damage in states in South etc. Many of them will not get voting rights. In Southern states, non-BJP parties are against SIR mainly because it weeds out dead voters and non-resident Keralites (who don't come and vote in KL).
