Modi Rohinygas Self Goal

On 13th August, around 7:30 AM IST, Sr Cabinet Minister made two tweets, announcing a LANDMARK DECISION on housing for #Rohingyas:



Minister, even referenced a report from #ANI to highlight the decision. He was so excited, he tagged HMO, Foreign-Ministry, PIB and India-In-Myanmar twitter handles.

Naturally criticism started flowing in thick and fast from nationalists as this came out-of-the-blue, while Hindu-Refugees at Majnu-Ka-Tila in #Delhi, still devoid of basic-amenities

Some self-appointed Govt defenders (a.k.a. Bhajan-Mandali, IT-Cell) started to give lousy explanations:


While all this defense was going on, Home-Minister was silent, though it was tagged in Minister Puri's tweets.

Nearly 6 hours after Puri's tweet, HMO denied the news in totality:

HMO in its clarification said:
  • No plan to move Rohingya's to EWS Flats
  • HMO only asked to move them to detention-center as their current location is not a detention-center per HMO definition
  • HMO wants control on Rohingya's movements
  • Delhi-Govt (run by Arvind Kejriwal) wanted to move Rohingya's to EWS flats
This busted the fake-explanations given by Bhajan-Mandali

It not only put a big question-mark on Minister Puri's tweets but also many questions on Modi-Govt's functioning and it's handling of Rohingya's:
  • Was Puri misled by ANI news?
  • Was Puri misled by AAP?
  • Was Puri misled by Delhi-Govt?
  • Why Puri made that tweet as it didn't concern any of the 3 ministries he is in-charge of?
  • How did Rohnigya's got UNHCR IDs? Do Hindu-Refugees have such IDs?
  • If Current Rohingya's location in Delhi is not a detention-center, why HMO quiet on this? Why HMO not point this out to Arvind Kejriwal to fix it?
  • Do ministers in Modi-Govt talk to each other before such important tweet?
  • Why HMO was quiet for 6 hours?
  • Did Modi made this decision and then do a U-Turn after angry-feedback from nationalists?
  • Now that HMO clarified and busted the landmark-decision, will Puri clarify why he made those tweets? 
Some handles started blaming supreme-court for non-deportation of Rohingya's. However it turned out to be false excuse again as SC didn't stay the deportation but only asked to follow due-process.

As PolitiCrooks handle wrote:

Whole episode is very embarrassing to Modi and his ministers. It exposes so many chinks in Govt functioning.

I can't put full blame on Minister Puri as he used to be a diplomat and they are known to use extreme caution before saying any word in public. So was it yet another U-Turn of Modi-Govt or a planned test-drive?
