Pawan Kalyan's twin warning to police: Rohingyas taking jobs from locals; southern states vulnerable to terror
Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister K Pawan Kalyan said on Tuesday that southern states are vulnerable targets for terrorists, and that the migration of Rohingyas into the state is causing unemployment. Speaking at Vijayawada, the Jana Sena Party chief said that he has written to the state police to maintain strict vigil against 'internal threats'.
'As much as soldiers are protecting the country safely on the borders, it is crucial that the police department is also constantly vigilant in internal security within the country. Rohingya migration is causing unemployment and (posing an) internal security threat. Some people in the system are involved in helping them settle down permanently here,' he said.
'Police should be more vigilant than the soldiers on the borders. We know that southern states are sensitive targets of terrorists. Surveillance should be kept on the movements of strangers arriving on the coast. I have written to the DGP to maintain strict vigil along the coast,' he said.
'Heinous attacks in the past prove that the southern states are a sensitive target for terrorists. The terrorist attacks in Coimbatore and Hyderabad areas still make your heart skip a beat,' he said.
He said he wrote to the police to be extra vigilant after a person with alleged terrorist connections was traced to the state, referring to a joint operation conducted by the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh police.
'I suggested that strict action be taken against those who support terrorism, in coordination with the administrative machinery. If proper surveillance is maintained, especially in the case of migrants, future incidents can be prevented. There is also a need to increase continuous monitoring and surveillance in the coastal area. In the past, there were some reports of people coming from outside on boats in Kakinada. Keep a watch on who is landing on our coasts,' he said.
The JSP chief said there should be a focus on Rohingya migration. 'In the past, Rohingya migrants came to many parts of Andhra Pradesh from West Bengal. Especially in 2017-18, a large number came to various parts of the state from Kolkata to work as goldsmiths. The roots of the Rohingya are in Myanmar. With their migration, the local youth are facing the problem of unemployment. The main demand is jobs for locals in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh… However, the Rohingyas are getting ration, Aadhaar and voter cards to establish permanent residence here after coming from across the country. They are doing jobs and businesses that should belong to our youth,' he said.
'Our system is negligent in establishing permanent residence for the Rohingyas. How are they getting Aadhaar, voter and ration cards? It is clear who is giving them. It is understood that some people in our system are cooperating with them. Everyone should be made aware of how the Rohingyas are becoming citizens of this country and robbing us of our opportunities,' Kalyan said.

60K new police recruits to get appointment letters in UP on June 15, Union Minister Amit Shah to attend mega event
The Uttar Pradesh government is gearing up for a mega ceremony to distribute appointment letters to more than 60,000 new police recruits. Union home minister Amit Shah will be present at the programme to be held here this Sunday, officials said. The stage and massive pandals, being set up at the Defence Expo Ground in Vrindavan Yojana, are spread over an area of over 100 acres. Addressing a gathering on Sunday, chief minister Yogi Adityanath had confirmed that Shah would distribute the appointment letters in an event in Lucknow on June 15. Also read: OJEE Results 2025 declared, direct link to download Odisha Joint Entrance Examination rank card The recruitments were part of the UP Police Constables' Direct Recruitment Examination-2023, which could be completed after hiccups of a question paper leak in February last year. It was one of the biggest recruitment drives taken up by the state government, with over 48 lakh aspirants, which included 15 lakh women, evincing interest in joining the department. The leak had given the opposition ammunition to target the Union and the state governments during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. BJP-led NDA's share in the state came down to 33 from 62 in 2019. While the political nuances of Shah's visit cannot be overlooked as panchayat polls are due in the state early next year, the event is also significant as it shows the government's commitment to creating job opportunities for youngsters. Also read: IIMC accepting applications for MA in Media Business Studies, Strategic Communication, apply by June 15 A senior police official engaged in the arrangements confirmed that the efforts to make the event a mega affair were in full swing. 'Pandals being set up for the event are completely waterproof. Separate transformers are being installed at the site for an uninterrupted power supply. Sitting arrangements are being made for at least 70,000 people,' he said, adding the CM met the Union minister in Delhi on Monday to formally invite him to the event. He said director general of police (DGP) Rajeev Krishna had written to all district police chiefs and police commissioners to expedite the steps required from the home districts of police recruits to facilitate the process. The letter stated that the allocation of cadres to 48,196 male and 12,048 female candidates should be completed soon. In the letter, the DGP said while the male candidates were required to wear full-sleeve white shirts, khaki pants and black shoes to the programme, women candidates must wear plain salwar suits or sarees. He said the home districts should make arrangements for the candidates to travel to Lucknow and come back, and that the Lucknow police commissioner should make arrangements for their stay.

The state government cancelled the written examination on February 24 and directed that it be reconducted within six months. The written examination was then successfully conducted in August 2024 under heightened security.
