Kathua, February 11

Union minister Jitendra Singh today called for a thorough probe into the “antecedents” of Rohingya Muslims and Bangladeshi settlers in Jammu and Kashmir.

“There is a need for a probe into the antecedents of these settlers in Jammu and Kashmir,” he told reporters here after a function. The Union Minister of State in the PMO also pointed towards the habitations of Bangladeshis and migrants from Myanmar in Jammu and said there was a need to inquire the reason behind their stay here.

“Why some people, who have vested interests, have not objected to their stay in Jammu,” he said.— PTI
