Coward Pakistan plans another conspiracy against India, may create trouble in India by using..., this dreaded terrorist given the task to...
New Delhi: Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), one of India's most dangerous enemies, is now trying to spread its feet not only in Kashmir but also in India's neighbouring country Myanmar. Intelligence reports and some photos that have surfaced make it clear that this terrorist organisation led by Masood Azhar is now radicalising Rohingya Muslim youth and creating a jihadi network in Myanmar. According to a report by Resonate News, it is believed that Jaish-e-Mohammed has recently trained a Myanmar youth in Pakistan's Balakot training camp. Balakot is the same place which India destroyed in an airstrike in response to the Pulwama attack in 2019. It is being told that this youth went back to Myanmar after training and is now working there under the leadership of an 'Amir' i.e. jihadi commander. According to the report, Jaish has sent an amount of about 42 lakh rupees (about 50 thousand dollars) to Myanmar. This money has been given to the 'Burmese Mujahideen' for arms and operations. It is being told that Jaish-e-Mohammed is trapping the unemployed and angry youth of the Rohingya community in its net. There is already a lot of turmoil in Myanmar's Rakhine state, so the ground is ready for radical organizations there. There is also a fear that Jaish can use these Rohingya youth for attacks in Kashmir or other parts through the refugees present in India. Thousands of Rohingya refugees are already living in Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi and Hyderabad. Jaish's presence in Myanmar can become a direct threat to India, especially for the northeastern states. States like Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland are adjacent to Myanmar, and these areas already have the problem of insurgency. Now if Jaish establishes a base in Myanmar, then it will become easier for terrorists and weapons to infiltrate into India from there. According to media reports, India is strengthening its strategic relationship with Myanmar. Whether it is the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway or the Kaladan Project, India's 'Act East Policy' depends on the stability of Myanmar. But if terrorist conspiracies are hatched against India from Myanmar's soil, then there can be a rift in the relations between the two countries.

Chaos in Bangladesh over Rakhine Corridor, US and China are..., India keeping a close watch
Chaos in Bangladesh over Rakhine Corridor, US and China are..., India keeping a close watch A political and military deadlock has begun in Bangladesh over the proposed Rakhine Corridor. Interim government chief advisor Mohammad Yunus has supported the US-backed corridor. At the same time, Bangladesh Army Chief General Walker-uz-Zaman has strongly opposed it. He even called it a threat to Bangladesh's national sovereignty and called it a 'bloody corridor'. Bangladesh Army Chief General Walker-uz-Zaman has publicly condemned the Rakhine Corridor. He has said that it could endanger Bangladesh's national security and regional stability. He criticized the interim government's decision-making process, especially the lack of consultation with the army on such an important issue. After the strong reaction of the army chief, the Yunus administration took a U-turn and said that they have not taken any decision regarding this corridor. However, this incident made public the gap between the army and the government. What is the Rakhine Corridor? The Rakhine Corridor refers to a proposed humanitarian and logistics route linking the Cox's Bazar region of southeastern Bangladesh to Myanmar's Rakhine State. It is a conflict-ridden region that has seen years of unrest, particularly against the Rohingya Muslim minority. The corridor was agreed to be built amid renewed fighting in Myanmar and growing demands from international human rights groups to allow humanitarian access to civilians trapped in the region. Why is there controversy over Rakhine Corridor? Actually, this project was initiated by America. It was believed that America's attempt was to help the anti-junta rebel groups of Myanmar through the Rakhine Corridor. America is also infamous for such works. It has provided military help to anti-government rebel organizations in dozens of countries around the world. At the same time, Myanmar's military regime, also known as the Junta, is close to China. In such a situation, the Bangladeshi army is trying to avoid getting caught in any dispute between America and China, but Mohammad Yunus wanted to make this agreement under pressure from America. China is increasing pressure on Bangladesh China's interference in Bangladesh is increasing day by day. When there was a change of power in Bangladesh and Mohammad Yunus became the head of the interim government of the country, it was believed that he would move closer to America. However, looking at the regional conditions, he started supporting China. He first visited China among the neighboring countries. After his visit, recently Bangladesh Army Chief Walker Uz Zaman has also visited China.

India draws flak over reported sea expulsion of Rohingya refugees
Listen to article Indian authorities are facing international condemnation after reports emerged that at least 40 Rohingya refugees were forcibly expelled into the Andaman Sea near Myanmar. The United Nations has condemned the actions, calling for an immediate investigation. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) stated that the refugees, including women, children, and elderly individuals, were detained in New Delhi on May 6 and subsequently cast into the sea by the Indian navy on May 8 after being provided with life jackets. According to testimonies from survivors, the refugees swam ashore but their current whereabouts in Myanmar remain unknown. One refugee reported that his family members were among those deported and managed to contact him after reaching an island in Myanmar. He described being told by his brother that Indian authorities removed their restraints, gave them life jackets, and instructed them to swim to an island in Myanmar territory. The OHCHR condemned the actions as a serious violation of the principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits returning individuals to a country where they may face harm. Tom Andrews, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, called the incident "blatant disregard for the lives and safety of those who require international protection" and "nothing short of ... ." In response, lawyer Dilawar Hussain filed a petition in India's Supreme Court seeking the return of the deported refugees. However, the court expressed frustration over repeated petitions on the same issue without presenting new facts. On May 8, the Supreme Court ruled that only Indian citizens have the right to reside in the country, rejecting pleas to halt the deportation of Rohingya Muslim migrants. India's navy and foreign ministry have declined to comment on the allegations. The incident has drawn comparisons to previous reports of mistreatment of refugees and has raised concerns about India's treatment of displaced individuals. The UN has called for an investigation into the incident and urged the Indian government to refrain ... ." The situation highlights the challenges faced by Rohingya refugees in India, many of whom live in precarious conditions without legal recognition or protection. India is not a signatory to the 1951 Refuge ... and does not have a national policy to deal with refugees, leaving many displaced individuals vulnerable to deportation and mistreatment. The Rohingya, an ethno-religious Muslim minority from Myanmar's Rakhine State, represent the world's largest stateless community, with over 3.5 million people dispersed across borders yet recognised as citizens by almost no nation. Myanmar's 1982 citizenship law effectively rendered them stateless by excluding them from the country's 135 recognised ethnic groups.

Right to reside is only for Indian citizens, not for Rohingyas, rules Supreme Court
In a significant decision, the Supreme Court on May 8 declined to intervene in the alleged deportation of illegal Rohingya Muslim migrants from Delhi, saying that if Rohingya refugees in the country were found to be foreigners under Indian laws they will have to be deported. Senior advocate Colin Gonsalves and lawyer Prashant Bhushan had urgently approached the court with appeals, asserting that the Rohingyas are at risk of genocide in Myanmar and contending that as refugees, they possess the right to remain in India. #Operation Sindoor India-Pakistan Clash Live Updates| Missiles, shelling, and attacks — here's all that's happening Pakistani Air Force jet shot down in Pathankot by Indian Air Defence: Sources India on high alert: What's shut, who's on leave, and state-wise emergency measures The bench, consisting of Justices Surya Kant, Dipankar Datta, and N Kotiswar Singh, ruled that the right to reside anywhere within India is limited to its citizens, indicating that non-citizens would be managed in accordance with the Foreigners Act. The court scheduled the hearing for the appeals on July 31. During the proceedings, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and advocate Kanu Agrawal informed the bench that the Supreme Court had previously rejected requests to halt the deportation of Rohingya Muslims from Assam and Jammu & Kashmir.

However, the Solicitor General countered their arguments by asserting that the Rohingyas are classified as foreigners, and referenced the Supreme Court's ruling in the Assam case, which stated that it would refrain from commenting on the conditions in Myanmar. He further explained that the court also indicated that the right against deportation is linked to the right of residence, which is exclusively available to Indian citizens. Live Events Despite these assertions, the Solicitor General assured the court that the deportation of illegal Rohingya migrants would adhere to due process under current laws and emphasized that India does not acknowledge them as refugees. He noted that India is not a signatory to the UN Refugee Convention and questioned the legitimacy of the UNHCR's designation of them as refugees. The bench acknowledged that while the right to life under Article 21 applies to the Rohingya migrants, they are nonetheless classified as foreigners, and their situation will be handled in line with the Foreigners Act.
