Nevada (US): Hindus have expressed shock at reported German policy of deporting Roma children, who were born in Germany. Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that it was irresponsible on the part of
Germany to deport them to Kosovo where they reportedly faced excessive poverty.
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, further said that these
children suddenly found themselves in a new country which they never had visited
with no knowledge of its Albanian and Serbian languages and poverty-stricken in
an impoverished part of Europe. According to reports, many of thus deported children
dropped out of school, mostly because their families could not afford. Lacking
proper papers, many of them became stateless. These children, for whom Germany
was a home, ended up as strangers in a new country and some of them resulted in
living in extreme poverty and even below the hunger line, Rajan Zed added. Zed
urged Switzerland, Sweden and Austria and some other European countries also not
to forcibly deport Roma children to Kosovo as Kosovo lacked the infrastructure
to protect their human rights. Moreover, Roma were reportedly a vulnerable minority
in Kosovo. |
