Union Minister of Finance Arun Jaitley on Tuesday said “foreign and security policy” as well as the “balance of population” will influence the course of action of every country facing Rohingya crisis.
“Every country will decide its course of action based on its foreign and security policy and balance of population,” said the minister a day after Centre told the Supreme Court that the Rohingyas were a threat to the nation.
As per reports, Centre cited the Foreigners Act to seek the deportation of Rohingyas who have been termed as a threat to national security in the affidavit.
Several Union Ministers, as well as Ministers in the Assam government, have in the past said that the Rohingyas are illegal immigrants in India and will have to leave the country.
Meanwhile, the apex court fixed October 3 as the date to hear a plea challenging the deportation of Rohingyas to Myanmar.
