While Karnataka has not taken any coercive action against Rohingyas in the State till date, it will abide by the apex court directions on the matter, Advocate-General Prabhuling K. Navadgi has said.
The State Government recently submitted an affidavit in the Supreme Court, which is hearing a PIL petition filed by Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay against the presence of immigrants and infiltrators, including Rohingyas, stating that Karnataka had not taken coercive action against Rohingyas.
“Our affidavit is being misunderstood as though we have opposed the deportation of Rohingyas. We have only stated the ground situation. We have specifically said we will abide by the apex court’s directions in letter and spirit,” Mr. Navadgi said.
