Rohingya refugees in India face heightened persecution following Pahalgam incident

Rohingya Muslim refugees living in India are reportedly facing increased harassment and threats of deportation in the wake of the Modi government’s reaction to the recent Pahalgam false flag operation.

The Indian government has accused members of the Rohingya refugee community of alleged involvement in terrorism, though no credible evidence has been provided to support the claims.

In the aftermath of the incident, authorities have issued directives for the arrest and deportation of Rohingya refugees, sparking outrage among human rights defenders and civil society organizations.

International human rights groups have condemned the move, calling the deportation of registered refugees a serious violation of international law, particularly the principles of non-refoulement under the 1951 Refugee Convention, which prohibits the return of individuals to countries where they may face persecution.

Critics argue that the Modi administration is using the Pahalgam incident as a pretext to intensify its crackdown on the Rohingya community, in line with what they describe as a broader anti-Muslim policy agenda.

“The decision to scapegoat an already vulnerable group without evidence highlights the deepening extremism in India’s ruling structure,” said one human rights observer. “This is not about national security—it’s about targeting minorities for political gain.”

The situation has raised serious concerns among UN bodies and humanitarian organizations, who are calling for an immediate halt to deportation actions and the protection of the fundamental rights of Rohingya refugees residing in India.
