India Today
Soon after a controversy erupted over shifting Rohingya refugees to flats with basic facilities in Delhi's Bakkarwala, Trinamool Congress mouthpiece Jago Bangla slammed the BJP saying differences within the party were out in the open.
Hours after shifting Rohingya refugees to flats with basic facilities and round-the-clock security in Delhi's Bakkarwala sparked a row, Trinamool Congress (TMC) mouthpiece Jago Bangla slammed the BJP saying differences within the party were out in the open.
“Differences within the BJP are out in the open. At one end, Hardeep Puri says that Rohingyas will be rehabilitated in Delhi. On the other hand, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs says that nothing of that sort will happen,” the TMC mouthpiece stated.

On early Wednesday, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri took to Twitter lauding the government’s decision to shift the Rohingya refugees to flats allotted to the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) category with basic facilities and round-the-clock security in Delhi's Bakkarwala area.
He said, “India has always welcomed those who have sought refuge in the country. Those who made a career out of spreading canards on India’s refugee policy deliberately linking it to CAA will be disappointed.”
