BJP seeks probe on Aadhaar

Hyderabad: Alleging that several Rohingyas have secured Aadhaar cards in Telangana state by producing false documents, the BJP on Monday demanded that the Director General of Police conduct a probe in all districts to weed out illegal immigrants. Non-Indians securing all such cards is a matter of serious concern, but unfortunately the state government, it appears, has not viewed the issue with adequate seriousness, the party said in the memorandum. Whenever the BJP has raised the issue, for reasons best known to the administration, their submissions were not given due importance, the BJP said in a memorandum submitted to the DGP. “However, there have been revelations in the recent past that over 127 people secured Aadhaar cards producing false documents and cases have been registered against them at the behest of UIDAI. It further came to be known that of the 127 people, to whom notices have been served, 124 are Rohingyas,” it said. The BJP claimed 124 is not even a fraction of the number of the illegal immigrants staying in the state.
