Atishi claims Centre settling Rohingyas in Delhi; ‘false narrative’, says Hardeep Puri

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Atishi wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday, accusing the BJP-led Centre of settling “a large number of illegal Rohingyas” in different parts of the city.

With the AAP targeting Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri over his tweets and claiming that settling these refugees here was a “conscious decision” of the BJP-led NDA government, the minister accused AAP of indulging in “politics of diversion, false narratives and half-truths”.

In the run-up to the Delhi Assembly polls due in February 2025, the ruling AAP and BJP have been hitting out at one another over the issue of illegal Rohingya and Bangladeshi people staying in the national capital.
