Taking away rights of Delhi residents: Atishi to Amit Shah on Rohingya issue

Atishi, in her letter, not only questioned the Centre's border security measures but also accused the BJP-led government of resettling Rohingyas in Delhi, thus taking away resources meant for its residents.
The article discusses a political dispute between Atishi, a Delhi minister from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the handling of the Rohingya issue in Delhi. Atishi criticized Shah for what she described as an attempt to strip Delhi residents of their rights by focusing on the Rohingya population. She highlighted that the central government's actions, including the demolition of homes in areas like Madanpur Khadar, were not only inhumane but also politically motivated, especially with upcoming elections. Atishi accused the BJP of using the issue to polarize voters. She emphasized that the AAP government had been providing basic amenities to all residents, regardless of their legal status, and questioned the timing and intent behind the central government's crackdown on Rohingyas.
