Rohingyas in India need attention too

I hail from Kashmir, and in our southernJammu region, a few thousand Rohingya Muslims have taken shelter. 

Local BJP members are fuelling resentment against Rohingya refugees, often dubbed as the world's most persecuted people. But local Muslims despite their own shortcomings are providing them with all possible help. But India's BJP government plans to deport some forty thousand Rohingyas who have taken shelter across India after having fled Myanmar's Rakhine state. 

Bangladesh has garnered worldwide praise for its generosity towards Rohingya people, but those who took refuge in India do not get sufficient attention from the world. I urge the international community to pay more attention to the plight of these Rohingyas.
