Pakistani Hindu migrants who are settled in Jaisalmer allege that Rajasthan Government had ordered the eviction of Pakistani Hindu migrants from government land.
After facing backlash over the demolition of "encroachments" of temporary settlements (Kachchi basti) for Hindus displaced from Pakistan, Rajasthan Minister Pratap Khachariyawas on Thursday said that the officials will be taken to task who is "trying to malign the state government".
"What the officials did is wrong, they will have to answer. We will take action against them. Pakistani Hindu migrants are living in Jaisalmer on a vacant plot of land," he said while talking to the government.
He further said that the whole action is a "conspiracy" to malign the government.
"As per the law of the Rajasthan government, you can't evict anyone without them being rehabilitated...This is a very serious matter. This is a conspiracy; such officials will be taken to task who try to malign the Govt. They committed a sin, they will have to face it," he added.
