Modi in Myanmar will be cautious on Rohinyga Muslim issue

Modi, who will commence his visit to Nay Pyi Daw on Tuesday, will be the first foreign leader to meet Myanmar’s State Counsellor de-facto ruler Aung San Suu Kyi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to tread the cautious path on the issue of Rohingya Muslims when he visits Myanmar.

Modi, who will commence his visit to Nay Pyi Daw on Tuesday, will be the first foreign leader to meet Myanmar's State Counsellor de-facto ruler Aung San Suu Kyi.

With the Indian government in New Delhi signalling its plan to deport Rohingyas illegally taking shelter in India, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees on Monday reminded it of its obligation not to send back the persecuted people to the same place where they were displaced from and could still face danger.

The PM is visiting Myanmar at a time when the security forces of the neighbouring country have been accused of committing atrocities against Rohingyas while carrying out an offensive against insurgents of rebel Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army in its northwestern Rakhine State.
