Will you ask Dalai Lama to leave India?'

Will Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka be sent back as punishment for Rajiv Gandhi's assassination, says Omar Abdullah.

Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and working president of opposition National Conference (NC), Omar Abdullah, on Tuesday once again came out in support of the Rohingya Muslims who have taken refuge in different parts of the country.

While lashing out at people who are demanding their deportation, he asked if those plugging their India were going to demand that the Tibetan government in exile leave Indian shores immediately.

He sent out a series of tweets on the same. The first one said, “Will Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka be sent back as punishment for Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination.” This was followed by, “His holiness the Dalai Lama is going to find himself unwelcomed in his adopted home unless of course this xenophobia is selective.”

In yet another tweet, Abdullah asked “So are those plugging their India for Indians line going to demand that the Tibetan Government in exile leave Indian shores immediately.”

He also said, “And while they are at it will Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka be sent back as punishment for Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination.”
