New Delhi [India], April 6 (ANI): The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday accused the BJP of 'double-faced politics' and alleged that the BJP's Karawal Nagar MLA facilitated admission of 10 Rohingya children into a Delhi government school.

Calling out the BJP's 'double-engine' government a 'hypocrite,' AAP leader and MLA Anil Jha said, 'The BJP has robbed Delhi's children of their rights while secretly favouring Rohingya settlement. First, Hardeep Singh Puri talks about housing them in EWS flats, now, BJP MLAs are helping them get into schools.' The AAP has demanded a probe, charging the BJP with caring more for Rohingyas than for India's Dalits, minorities and poor.'

Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters, AAP MLA Anil Jha raised concerns over the Central Government's policies, calling it out for adopting double standards that are destabilising Delhi and the country.

'Information has surfaced regarding the admission of approximately 10 Rohingya children in schools in Karawal Nagar, Delhi. BJP leaders repeatedly label them as Bangladeshi infiltrators, yet Rohingya students are being admitted to Delhi schools. If my claim is incorrect, I challenge the Karawal Nagar MLA and Delhi government ministers to prove me wrong,' he stated.

The AAP MLA further added that the rights of Indian children are being violated to accommodate Rohingya students. Under what rule has this been done? Why have Rohingya students been given admission?'

Anil Jha highlighted a tweet by senior BJP leader and Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri in which he explicitly welcomed Rohingyas to India and announced their relocation from tents to EWS flats in Bakkarwala.

'Instead of focusing on the poor, Dalits, and minorities of India, they are concerned about the welfare of Rohingyas--discussing their settlement and education across Delhi and other parts of the country,' he said.

'While ignoring the plight of children living in Delhi's unauthorized colonies and 'jhuggis', the BJP has chosen to side with Rohingyas. The AAP strongly opposes this,' asserted the AAP MLA.

Anil Jha further stated, 'The security of India's borders is the responsibility of the Central Government. The Border Security Force and Central Reserve Forces fall under their purview. Intelligence agencies, too, are centrally controlled. Yet, thousands of Rohingyas have managed to reach Delhi, causing instability in regions including Haryana, Gurgaon, and Noida. Why is the Centre intent on settling them in Delhi and admitting their children into our schools?'

He emphasised that Hardeep Puri's statements reveal the Centre's intent to settle and house Rohingyas while Delhi continues to grapple with a significant homeless population lacking access to proper housing and education.

'Even as basic necessities for Delhi's poor remain unmet, the Central Government appears preoccupied with the welfare of Rohingyas. The AAP strongly condemns this misplaced priority,' he said.

'Ministers in the BJP-led Central Government say one thing, party leaders say another, and Delhi witnesses a completely different implementation on the ground,' he added.

He further said, 'There must be an impartial investigation into the admission of Rohingya children in Delhi schools. The public deserves transparency and truth.'

Anil Jha stated, 'The BJP should focus on the education of children from minority communities, Dalits, and those living in slums in Delhi. Instead, they are welcoming infiltrators like the Rohingyas. Why is the Centre taking such a soft stance on Rohingyas? Indian citizens must be given priority first.'

Union Home Minister Amit Shah earlier had said that the Immigration and Foreigners Bill, 2025, will strengthen the country's internal security and seeks to eliminate the multiplicity and overlapping of laws.

Replying to the debate on the bill in Lok Sabha, Amit Shah said India is not a 'Dharamshala' and those who pose a threat to national security will not be allowed to enter the country.

'Those who pose a threat to national security will not be allowed to enter the nation. The nation is not a 'Dharamshala'(rest house)...If someone comes to the nation to give their contribution to the development of the nation, they are always welcome,' he said.

The bill was later passed by the lower house.

He said that whether it is Rohingyas or Bangladeshis, if they come to India to create unrest, strict action will be taken against them.

'In the last ten years, India has become the fifth-largest economy. India has emerged as a bright spot among the world's largest economies. India has become a hub of manufacturing, and it is natural for people from all over the world to come to India... The number of people taking refuge in India for personal gain and making the country unsafe has also increased... Be it Rohingyas or Bangladeshis, if they come to India to create unrest, strict action will be taken against them,' he said.

'Immigration is not a separate issue. Many issues of the country are linked to it... From the point of view of national security, it is very important to know who enters the nation's border... We will also keep a close watch on those who will endanger the security of the country,' he added. (ANI)
