People in the Indian state of Mizoram are welcoming migrants who have fled the military coup in Myanmar. The government, however, is ordering their deportation. Hundreds of people have crossed the border, including police officers and soldiers who say they fled because they were ordered to open fire on pro-democracy protesters.

#Myanmar #India
Aljazeera is one of the entities behind creating turmoil in Myanmar, yes we know your plan, it won’t succeed.
Cut their oil import from OPEC country. You also show some humanity to these people.
No surprise, you have to look after your own citizens first before trying to look after immigrants.
Completely opposite to what Mizaram MP said
India has really gotten stupid lately
India pm do support the killing hence he ordered to send them back.
May God bless mizos’ cm
This is fake go watch ..aj had posted in coumminty box that myanmmar refugee are still living in mizo
@mohit Thakkar aah this is not fake I am a Mizo and the central government try to deport this refugee back to Myanmar but we Mizo refuse it.
Welcome to India , expecting more refugees from Burma
Rejected by India. Wow. Talk about hitting rock bottom.
Where is Buddhist Sri Lanka and Buddhist leader Mahinda Rajapaksha
Sri Lanka must need take Burma Buddhist refugees
Jesus said love your neighbours. Help the needy people
Now My Neighbour Is Pregnant .
@sanjeet singh markam bruh moment
@sanjeet singh markam lol
India had helped 1,000 Polish refugees during world war 2
India had helped Bangladeshi refugees back when they were getting killed
India has and still is helping Tibetan refugees from China
India must not let go of its past to help refugees today,
the government needs to change their policy!
India also helped zeorastrians,🥰
Indias Caught In Cross Fire One Again lol Hard Luck
Before nation…we still a human race…why not help each other in hard times ?
Since your time will come too. 🙂
India’s majoritarianism government is much too intolerant. No wonder Modi’s visit to Chittagong was marred by protests and shooting of Muslim protesters.
India will never send them back. There is a strong reason why people come to India looking for hope peace and prosperity and never leave …

@Margaret Kpeh Buddha is the Lord .
@Margaret Kpeh May Buddha give you brain 😁
@AlanTuring was Murdered you have no strategies to stop corruption, human trafficking, pedifilia, mafias, cartels, racketeering, etc.
@Margaret Kpeh Yes, Buddha has a solution for all of that. LOVE AND COMPASSION. CHRISTIANS ALSO NEED EM.
As neighbouring country we should support the movement for democracy….we heard everyday how the Myanmar military forces slaughter the civilian…. DEPORTATION???? as if we support the Myanmar military forces. DEPORTATION means DEATH for them
I can’t say I feel sorry as these soldiers are the same one who were part of the terrorists who massacre Muslimin in Rohingya.
Myanmar soldiers are absolutely brainwashed animals who kill anything on order. Those who have some humanity are the ones deserting to India.
True
@Jimmy They have some humanity? Oh right for Buddhist whom they were ordered to kill but not Muslimin in Rohingya.
India racist
Sad news for democracy,, fake democracy everywhere
In need of help neighbours should do help …!!
India should not send them back. In actual fact, India should help to bring the generals down!
these are killers.the people who shot protesters their own people
Good job India
No coup refugee has been deported you are talking about plans of deporting the Rohingya refugees which has never actually happened yet. Refugees who are moving into india since the coup are being protected.
This is a Fake News …I have gone through India’s Foreign ministry Social Media handle ..they haven’t ordered anything like that..
They have…Our state has received the order last week to send the refugees back but we will not!
@kimimi ralte State Govt.should Prioritize its citizen first rather than Prioritizing Foreigners ..if there is massive influx of Burmese refugees …Quality of Living will deep down of the Host Country..
To all my indian brothers
We have 270 million people live below the poverty line & other 100 million or so just over it,most of them live on food schemes run by the government of India, we need feed these people first,
Once we got there then we can think about every humanitarian issue that happening in the world
Why not deport the Bangladeshi
Just for some context – India relies on Myanmar to keep insurgency in check in the north-east. Myanmar acts as a gateway between Chinese funded militants and northeast. Things have been calm the last decade or so because of the Myanmar millitary cooperation. Geopolitics unfortunately does not know right from wrong, and I hope this is not implemented.
Streetshytter
👀👀
Banned Al-Jazeera in India
There is place in Qatar who killed 6500 immigrant workers building the world cup football stadiums due to slavery
Thank you Mizoram for helping our people. Please let them stay until they can come back here safely. We will call them back when we can so they won’t be a burden on you. More than 100 people have died here today alone. They don’t even let us take back some of the dead bodies. My friend was one of the heroes who died.
Dont worry,Chin our are brethren they are welcome to stay or go back to myanmar anytime they want after you guys attain democracy
We will not send them back we will take care of them from mizoram be save we people of mizoram support u.CDM democracr.
Plss bro they dont burden us..its a wellcome …plss keep safe ..state of christian..we pray every time …
20~30년뒤 미얀마 군부는 대한민국 전두환 정권처럼 최악의 지옥속에서 살다 죽을 것이다.
Why????we have our own people 😕 who need our resources. Sorry no handout any more. God bless India 🇮🇳 and modi.
This modi-shah combination has led india into shame…
. India Modi💩 allied/belongs with the US-5 Eyes👹 which controls/influence the Myanmar Military😱.
,,, Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi😇 signed 33 agreements to build 400 kph High-Speed Bullet rail systems, big Factories, high-rise Hotel Buildings, 5G Networks, School-Universities, Hospitals, Mega International Airports and “Hotpot Restaurants” worth hundreds of Billion dollars with Chinese President Xi Jinping😎.🤑🤑🤑
. US-CIA💩 don’t like that and ordered the Myanmar Military👹 coup against Aung San Suu Kyi😨, had her arrested, detained and later maybe killed to stop the agreement.😱
,,, that is why US-CIA had her arrested, detained and later maybe killed to stop the agreement.😱
,,, US-CIA NED is playing/funding both side of the Military Coup and Myanmar Protesters to divert international opinion blaming China🤔.
. Myanmar US-CIA NED agents are burning Myanmar-China Factories to derail economic growth of Myanmar employee/workers.🔥
,,, Myanmar people should keep Aung San Suu Kyi😇 safe and alive so that the Myanmar – China Agreement will push through.💪💪💪
from a land that pride itself as a working democracy India is just showing the spineless goverment that is piling up huge damage & misery at all levels.
Politicians playing with people blood to play the nationalistic card that has been harvesting only misery x decades.
How many Rohingya this Army guy with 3 finger salute killed? just curious
He is from chin state and it was the police from Rakhine state that were involved in the massacre of the rohingyas
That’s why we are deporting them 😁😁
We will send all illegal immigrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh to Qatar please grant citizenship.
sad mad times
We don,t need refugees they cost lot of money to feed them we have hunger problem let the refugees go to China and Thailand they also share border with them also
We have our own little world inside Mizoram state (India) and Chin state (Burma) until British arrived in 19th century. Then they took us all in and brought us inside East India Company rule. And when they gave independence, they split us into two countries. The border between India and Myanmar is our Berlin wall. Even though we are small and weak community. These are our lands and we are one.
Actually we split into three country you forgot to mention Chittagong hills of Bangladesh.
U r right brother….we r brother n sister from blood.
yeah go mizoram we will support you from kerala
Shame on India😅
Yes let them stay, it’s the right thing to do. Do not be afraid, stand for righteousness.God will bless you.
Indian government is run by wannabe-dictators. If only they could be shown the statistics on how many Indian born illegal refugees reside in U.S and U.K!
Indians being Indian….
We as Indian cannot send our citizens future into uncertainty just for showing humanity.Just don’t want another population boom as Bangladesh refugee crisis. Send them back.
Thats not for you to decide…
@kimimi ralte That we have decided it is Myanmar internal matter.
Im ready accept Burmese people in northeast, but will never accept any bengali, marwaris or other mainland indian people in our states.
Kelled country mayanmar
Give the people some guns to get their country nack from the genocide miliatary
Now burma is being another North Korea
You guys should cover migrant workers crisis in qatar first, more than 1000 of workers were died
When minorities killed by millitary peoples are silence and support them.. Now millitary hunting who gave support to genocide. Now we watching like action movie
NO TO REFUGEES I AM WITH MY GOVERNMENT, IF YOU REALLY SO CARE TAKE THEM IN QATAR🇶🇦
@UrMad PAGAL HUMLOG HINDI HAI
@OCTOPUS BHAI main ne to kafi indians ko kehte suna hai ke budhist unke dharmic bhai hain. Ab un se teri dosti khatam??
@UrMad but not with refugees
@OCTOPUS BHAI hahaha toh matlab ke wo sab jhuti baatein thi.
qatar is a muslim country i think these people should stay here with us
WE WILL SEND ALL REFUGEES TO THEIR COUNTRY, WE DON’T LIKE REFUGEES
Christian missionaries are having a field day reaping Myanmar souls.
Do americans still want their government to disarm them? Thats stupid.
PM might be against and the central government might be deporting but I know the fact that Mizoram CM or Mizoram Gov’t will keep them safe. You can send them back once things are better in Myanmar. Remember that you’re sending these innocent people to die. I stand with Mizoram Govt. India might have many problems but right now you need to help your neighbor when they’re in need. That’s what humanity is.
Why does Qutar not do something about this it is very easy for Aljazira to sit in Qutar Doha and say all this double standard opportunist country.
India is always behind tyrrants.great people of mizoram should not listen to hindu extremist india govt.
Iam from mizoram(state Aizawl) we will help them n we will not send them back…its our duty to save life all religions r wellcome here …
By DEPORTING these poor refugees from 🇲🇲 Burma ; INDIA is telling the world that they support the Military Junta instead of supporting democracy.
I think govt hasn’t said anything…..look they never showed you any info where govt said those words…..mizoram state govt is currently pushing central govt to help them…..
Though I’ll appreciate Mizo people for this but the only reason is that ethnic lines run high there, they aren’t ready to take back Bru people but taking foreigners
Lol,some came back and some people don’t want to comeback,you might update yourself on that news.
To be fair, India already had too much people so having more load brought more harm than good to India.
I am a parotitic Indian but this is just sad. very very very very very sad
At least keep them in till the military is defeated
India always is home to those in need. We won’t turn them back
Stay as much as you need time , we are against military coup . God Bless you
Fake news… Mizoram govt not sending back anyone.
Those police guys or ex-military can teach those civilian to fight, those people need to attack as well to defend themself not just waiting for outside countries to help as they wont.
India already has many refugees, deportation is necessary
India should allow the migrants to remain till the situation normalises. But unfortunately India and China are in bitter battle to exert influence over Myanmar and none can afford to antagonise the military.
Good job indian government
Modi🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕
This is a great chance for India to demonstrate some compassion. The comments from Indians are overwhelmingly sympathetic.
Why India??? Why are you sending them back??
Both Indian government and china government doesn’t want to get involved in the current affair of myanmar. I mean don’t you want to help???
Edit: i just found out why they don’t want to get involved its because it will involve their national security which they think will complicate things even more. So government of both china and India wants myanmar to handle this on their own.
There is no news of deportation idiot al jazeera. There were just some rohingyas detained in jammu and kashmir and they were shifted from there but the government is still thinking whether to deport or not due to the situation.
Indian should not deport asylums seekers
When did india said they are deporting it…..show us the article or gazette where they have put to throw them out…..
India already very very very much over populated….we must stop migrant flow from bangladesh snd myanmar
India govt will always support violence
New Delhi Must shut your mouth if you don’t want to help .
Curious move? Indian is worse off with a Chinese naval base in Myanmar.
Give them citizenship of Mizoram
Old news ….they have reversed their stance and now will welcome burmese refugees…aljajeera wont report that.
Hope Myanmar does not end up like Tibet
govt cant identify illegal bengalis from bangaladesh but want to send few people who fled mayanmar. lmao.
Logically government is right on their place but humanity is first place
Solution : May be possible Myanmar divide in Two country like Korea South and north
Better solution
FREEDOM AND HUMAN RIGHTS…
ALSO RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN INDIA.
This is something beyond Politics..
We are humans first..
But some Fanatic Hindus charged up and incited by pseudo Nationalist Theory prepounded by BJP are up against this Brotherhood…
That’s why they are pushing forward the political agenda of CAA of Indian Govt….
Where is that shaddi boys commenting aljazeera is anti-hindu
Why indian central govt dont care about North east peoples and their emotions
We are brothers and sisters, we speak the same language, the only difference is that we are divided by the British empire in 1947.
Eventually most soldiers will realize that killing there families are wrong
A burden on our resources…. We eat ourselves or feed others?
People from myanmar have come to Bangladesh in eighteenth century too although they do not want to leave and cause problems.
Come on Al Jazeera !
Can’t you ever say anything good about India.
We have now welcomed the refugees as per the latest news .
And above all our country is itself going through hard times .
Unemployment , economic crisis , crime rate , etc .
And we already have huge refuge problem .
If we start taking more people inside , I think we have to starve to death.
And then we will be of nowhere.
Hope you understand
-Jai Hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I’m sure India won’t send them back it’s would be very wrong thing for a Democratic National to do
