New Delhi: Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh on Wednesday said Pakistan can use Rohingyas as terrorists.
The Rohingya people are a Muslim minority group of Rakhine state in Myanmar and have been fleeing from Rakhine since 2015 due to the military's offensive against them.
Addressing a press conference here, Singh said that Rohingyas are foreigners and they illegally entered India.
"In Jammu and Kashmir">Jammu and Kashmir, Rohingyas are in two districts- Jammuand Samba on the borders. These areas are communally very sensitive. The state government is working on the directions of the Centre on this issue and definitely they have to be shifted from there. Otherwise, there is every potential of Pakistan using them as terrorists.
And, there are certain links as we are getting the reports that they are being used as terrorists," Singh told media.
