In the Supreme court a plea by Rashtriya Swabhiman Andolan, (RSA) leader, K.N. Govindacharya was filed on Monday seeking identification and deportation of Rohingya Muslim refugees.

Govindacharya, in his plea, said the Rohingya Muslims are a burden on a country's resources and also a serious threat to India's national security.

He is opposing the plea earlier filed by two Rohingya Muslim refugees, for which Prashant Bhushan had appeared in the apex court.

The plea filed by the two Rohingya immigrants, Mohammad Salimullah and Mohammad Shaqir, who are registered refugees under the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), stated that "this act (deportation) would be in contradiction with the Principle of Non-Refoulement, which has been widely recognized as a principle of Customary International Law".
