NHRC opposes Rohingya deportation
The National Human Rights Commission said on Saturday that it would oppose the centre's plans to deport an estimated 40,000 Rohingya Muslims living illegally in India. The rights body will plead against their deportation on 'humanitarian grounds' and the fear of persecution if they are sent back.
