United Nations Human Rights Chief Zayid Rad al Hussein has condemned the efforts of the Modi government to send Rohingya Muslims back from India.

Al Hussein said that the Minister of State for Home of India has allegedly made a statement that since India is not a signatory to the Refugee Convention, India can work on this matter from international law, but with basic human compassion.

According to the head of the United Nations Human Rights, this move of India will not be lawful according to international laws and regulations.

He said, "However, on the basis of the prevailing law, India can not expel the Rohingya Muslims in the countries or areas where they are suspected of being tortured or they can be targeted."

According to government figures, at present, there are 40 thousand Rohingya Muslims living in India. Of these 16 thousand people have also obtained refugee documents.

Apart from this, the UN Human Rights Chief also said that there is a case of violence and injustice 'racial prejudice' against minority Rohingya community in Myanmar.

Addressing the session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, Zayid Rad Al Hussein mentioned the anniversary of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, and then expressed concern about the status of human rights in Myanmar.

They talked about Burundi, Venezuela, Yemen, Libya and human rights concerns in the US.

Zayid Rad al-Hussein said that due to the violence, 270,000 people have fled to neighboring Bangladesh from Myanmar and they have been also mentioned about 'Security forces and local militia to burn the villages of Rohingya people' and the reports and photographs of murders other than justice.

He said, "Because Myanmar has not allowed human rights investigators to go, the current situation can not be fully assessed, but this situation seems to be an example of racial prejudice."

On the other hand, the United Nations Refugee Agency has said that due to the recent violence in Myanmar's Rakhine province, 3,13,000 Rohingya have been entered to Bangladesh border since August 25.

Police opened rubber bullets to disperse a pelting mob on a Muslim family's house in the central part of Myanmar. The crowd attacked Sunday night in the Magwa area.
