And his contentious extremist remarks on Arundhati Roy, that he later deleted after facing intense backlash. But was totally unapologetic for it.

Recently, Paresh again set the Twitter on fire after targeting the Rohingya Muslims, portraying them as the oppressors rather than oppressed. Paresh said that Rohingya extremists are carrying out atrocities against Hindus in Burma, hence India should have a strong stance against accepting them as refugees.
Rohingya kills Hindus in Myanmar but they will start loving Hindus once they enter India !
— Chowkidar Paresh Rawal (@SirPareshRawal) September 25, 2017
Paresh made this statement in context with his previous ones, in which he expressed his concerns saying that India should ‘help’ them, but taking them will be a’catastrophic’ mistake that India will regret later.
Rohingya – we can help them but can't have them .It will be a catastrophic mistake.

All Rohingya (neighbor) sympathisers where were you when Kashmiri pandit (our own citizens )were displaced?
— Chowkidar Paresh Rawal (@SirPareshRawal) September 18, 2017
Rohingya should not rely on anyone as Islam is a religion of Brotherhood so all the Islamic countries would stand by them ! Just ask them !
— Chowkidar Paresh Rawal (@SirPareshRawal) September 18, 2017
When the entire world stands with Rohingya community through the horrible incidents and crimes against humanity that they are facing, Paresh’s statement are only creating differences and igniting hate. Due to that, Paresh caused a debate and a social media hysteria. Not just he was asked to stop spreading news without validation, on his tweet regarding Kashmir pandits, he was also questioned about his role.
they were there too. You didnt see.

So according to this theory, do you mean that people can/must keep getting displaced, sir?

On his recent tweet, people accused him for working on a strategy of dividing Muslims and Hindus. He was also pinpointed for kick starting speculations related to oppression against Hindus without any substantial evidence.
But why are Hindus being kicked out of Myanmar by Myanmar Army? Why are many Myanmar Hindus in Bangladesh camps? Who made clown like you MP?

There is no evidence to suggest Rohingya are killing Hindus. Not wise to make accusations without proof or full knowledge of the situation.

The reaction of people reflects that they see through the conspiracy and the entire situation is being manipulated by him to gain support, using the policy of ‘divide and rule’ as a political tool.
