  • 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.

Atishi, a Delhi minister, accused the central government of settling Rohingya refugees in Delhi, claiming that the BJP-led government was doing so to create a vote bank. She stated that the central government was providing these refugees with Aadhaar cards and voter IDs. However, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri refuted these allegations, calling them baseless and politically motivated.

This exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the AAP-led Delhi government and the BJP-led central government regarding the handling of refugees and political strategies.
