ROING, Sep 1:Breaking his silence on Tibetan Rehabilitation Policy (TRP), Chief Minister Pema Khandu while attending the Solung celebrations at Roing today said that several unions and organisations have expressed their opposition in media without seeking any clarification from the state government.

He said the TRP is Govt. of India policy of 2014 under Ministry of Home Affairs. This policy has been adopted in all states wherever there are Tibetan refugee settlements. However, TRP policy is yet to be fully adopted in Arunachal due to issues over land and jobs, Khandu clarified.

The CM said the policy has only been agreed in-principle and not passed in toto. It will be framed only after Arunachal comes up with its own rehabilitation policy, which will be made in consultation with all stakeholders like students and community bodies, he said.

‘The state government will never give away any kind of rights to any refugees, which is detrimental to the interests of indigenous people of Arunachal,’ the CM said.
