We have learned that Abu Tahay @ U
Thar Aye (Head of Political Affairs) of NDPD discussed about the Rohingya
Issues with UK foreign office minister The Rt Hon Hugo Swire MP and Party as
follows:
We very much appreciate your
constructive engagement with Union of Myanmar because of some positive signs
that Government is moving toward the democracy and national reconciliation but
Rohingya is excluded.
Ancient
Arakanese, Rohingya were descendents of Indo - Aryan converted into Islam in 8
AD and the racial admixture of Arab (788 AD - 810AD) plus persian (700AD -
1500AD) plus Bengali (1400AD-1736AD)plus Mogul (1600AD). Rohingyas is one of Ethnic group of the union of Myanmar
mostly living in Rakhine state. There is no an Iota of doubt in fact of so
Rohingya are ancient settlers of
Rakhine, not immigrants during the British time.
There
were thousands of war captives brought from East Bengal by Rakhine King. There
had been slave hunting business for centuries and also had been combatants.
(12) territories of chittagong area was the subjection to Rakhine King from
1495 to 1666 and Rakhine was realm of Bengal King. These were happened before
1823.That is why they were not massive infiltrators from Bengladesh.
The
name of Rohang/Roshang/Raham is the old name of Arakan (Rakhine).Thus from Rohang its people is Rohingya.So
Rohingya is a historical term but is not a political creation.
A
Bengladeshi is very distinctive in the midst of Rohingya by accent of
dialect, culture, dresses and wearing but
same in faith only. There are some
ethnic races such as Rakhine, Sak,
Dinet, Baruwas etc in Myanmar as well as in Bengaladesh both sides of whom are
same in faith, culture & language but only accusation on Rohnigya who profess Islam. There is
functioning Government mechanism & is also full enforcement of law. No one
easily can infiltrate into Myanmar. If so measures to be taken to all
regardless of religion.
Even
though Rohingya's culture, Literature, and Language are different from Rakhine
but similar to ancient vesali Age.
Many
got a wrong image of Mujahids as well as Rohingya. Many think mujahids &
Rohingya are same but totally different cases. Rohingya is a historical term of
name of ethnic community but Mujahid, name of armed insurgents.
MR,
A.Jinna of pakistan & Boyoke Aung Sun conceded that religion question will
be within Burma and the Rohingya muslim, resided east of Naf river there on
will be Burmese Citizen on 7th January 1947.
Rohingya
is one of Ethnic community recognized by previous parliamentary Government in
accordance with 1948 citizenship Acts as have settled in any territories included
within the union as a homeland prior to 1823.
Rohingya Ethnic language programme was granted
to announce trice weekly from Myanmar Radio 2nd channel from May 15, 1961 to October 1 , 1965.
Past
Parliamentary Government & Revolutionary council of Myanmar also granted
Mayu frontier Area, 75% of Rohingya people living Area comprising of Maung Daw
Tsp, Buthi Daung Tsp & Western Rathi Daung Tsp from May 1, 1961 to Feb 1,
1964 as special administration by central Government.
Rohingya
people were eligible to run the member of parliament according to 1947, 1974
& 2008 constitutions in all elections held.
It
is a measure of recognization of Rohingya as bonafide citizens of the union of Myanmar
so that 1982 citizenship law, articles of associate citizenship &
naturalized citizenship are not applicable to them who held Legal documents by
generations or seizing it by authorities under pretext of issuing new
one known as TRC (White card), a design to degrade Rohingya from bonafide
citizen to non-bonafide citizen.
Present
day denial of Rohingya Ethnic community & citizen by birth contradicts the
Right of citizens stated that no bonafide citizen shall be revoked in
accordance with law.
Ethnic
conflict in Myanmar is started that 135 Indigenous races has been catalogued in Myanmar which has no
legality or authority and by
promulgating 1982 citizenship law in order to make deliberately the Rohingya
non-bonafide citizens which contradicts the 2008 constitution & universal
Declaration of Human Rights.
We
have submitted monograph of Rohingyas as native race under law and by natural
birth to the presidents of the Union of Myanmar but also to parliaments and
respective ministries on September 26, 2011, 28 of June 2012 and July 4, 2012 to
resolve the issues but still remains unresolved.
We
are in opinion that restrictions imposed such as movement, marriage. health
care, professional study, land confiscations, House maintenance, Religious
building renovation, Business etc are tend to be systematic repression and
human rights violation and not toward solutions for durable peace &
stability in Myanmar but also for the world.
In
the point of view of all inclusive National reconciliation, Genuine reform,
peaceful co-existence, perfect amity and share, Rohingya issues should be
resolved through dialogue method by lawful means.
