Many of those who had fled to India after the earlier spate of violence, were settled in Jammu, Hyderabad, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi-NCR and Rajasthan.<\/p>\n<p>The plea said that India has ratified and is a signatory to various conventions that recognise the Principle of &#8220;Non- Refoulement&#8217;, which prohibits deportation of refugees to a country where they may face threat to their lives.<\/p>\n<p>The government has recently raised &#8220;serious concern&#8221; over reports of renewed violence and attacks in Myanmar and extended its &#8220;strong&#8221; support to the Myanmarese government at this &#8220;challenging moment&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Centre today told the Supreme Court that the Rohingya Muslims are &#8220;illegal&#8221; immigrants in the country and their countinous stay posed &#8220;serious national security ramifications&#8221;.
