New Delhi: Members of Trinamool Congress (TMC) today protested outside the Parliament, seeking withdrawal of draft NRC that was released in Assam. Samajwadi Party and Aam Aadmi Party members too supported the TMC’s protest.
MoS for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju slammed the TMC for trying to create unrest over the issue of NRC in Assam. Defending the government, Rijiju said that India is the only country in the world to approach a soft stand on refugees.

# This is an unfortunate statement by him (TMC’s Sugata Bose). India is probably only country which has adopted such a soft approach to refugees. We also told Myanmar that we are ready to assist them in providing facilities to Rohingyas when they return: Kiren Rijiju, MoS Home in LS
# External Affairs Ministry is conducting ‘operation insaniyat’ for Rohingyas in Bangladesh. There are 40,000 Rohingyas in India, will we show insaniyat for only those who are in Bangladesh?: Sugata Bose,TMC in Lok Sabha
# Border Security Force and Assam Rifles are deployed to stop further infiltration of #Rohingyas. Have issued advisory to states to monitor those who have already come and keep them at one place and not let them spread. States also have right to deport them: HM Rajnath Singh in LS
# Rijiju said our borders with Bhutan and Myanmar are not fenced, but the border security have ensured no illegal migration through these routes.
# MoS Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju says no Rohingya will be getting any legal document to show they are Indians. If there is evidence, we’ll investigate, he said.
# Shiv Sena leader Arvind Sawant (Shiv Sena) raised the issue of Rohingya refugee getting voting rights and how some of them have Aadhaar cards now.
# The Upper House was adjourned following a ruckus over the NRC draft which was released on Monday. It has been adjourned till 12 pm.
