The National Human Right Commission (NHRC) has also directed both the Centre and the Arunachal government to "ensure that human rights of the Chakma and Hajong tribals are protected by all the ways" amid allegations of racial profiling.
The Union Home Ministry and Arunachal Pradesh government have been asked for a report within six weeks by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) against the alleged racial profiling of members of Chakma and Hajongs tribes and their relocation from the state.
The NHRC has also directed both the centre and the Arunachal government to "ensure that human rights of the Chakma and Hajong tribals are protected by all the ways".
Responding to a complaint filed by the Chakma Development Foundation of India (CDFI), the NHRC's Deputy Registrar KK Shrivastava on Monday wrote a letter, accessed by NDTV, to the Union Home Secretary and Chief Secretary of Arunachal Pradesh government.
The CDFI earlier in a letter to the NHRC sought the rights body's intervention against "racial profiling of 65,000 Chakma and Hajong tribals of Arunachal Pradesh through illegal census for their deportation or expulsion or relocation from the state".
