While AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and chief minister Atishi blamed the BJP for "helping Rohingya refugees to settle" in the city, Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that the AAP was "spreading false narratives".
Emphasising further on the issue, Atishi wrote to Union home minister Amit Shah, alleging that the BJP-led central government "for last several years" has been helping a large number of Rohingya refugees to settle in Delhi.
"Who brought Rohingyas to Delhi? Why is the BJP government depriving Delhiites of their rights to accommodate them? Is the central government now admitting its failure to secure the nation's borders?" Kejriwal asked during a press conference, and hit out at the Centre for its alleged failure to secure the country's borders.
He further questioned the alleged allocation of essential resources to illegal immigrants. "If our rights to basic resources such as electricity, water, and jobs are being handed over to illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, what will happen to the people of Delhi? This is a serious concern," he said.
