 New Delhi, September 18: Sources said that the Centre on today filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court on the issue of deportation of Rohingya Muslims from India and told the apex court that it was best to let the Executive decide on the issue of deportation of refugees in the country.

The Centre said in the apex court: as far as Rohingyas are concerned, they claimed to have entered from Myanmar using porous border between India and Myanmar. The total number of such illegal immigrants into our country would be more than 40,000 approximately as on date.

The plea against deportations was based on grounds of violation of conventions of international human rights. The Home Ministry had already expressed concerns that the Rohingya immigrants pose a challenge to the country’s security and that they may be recruited by outfits. The immigrants are spread over Jammu, Hyderabad, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi-NCR and Rajasthan.
