KATHUA/JAMMU, Dec 10: The president of the National Conference, Farooq Abdullah, stated on Tuesday that it is the duty of the Jammu and Kashmir government to ensure that Rohingya refugees in the area have access to essential services like water and electricity.
“The refugees were brought here by the Government of India, not by us. They have established their presence here, and while they remain, it is our obligation to provide them with water and electricity. This is our responsibility,” Abdullah remarked to the press during his visit to Kathua.
His comments followed the BJP’s statement the previous day, labeling the presence of Rohingyas and Bangladeshis in Jammu city as part of a significant “political conspiracy” and calling for a CBI investigation to uncover those responsible for facilitating their settlement.
