Talking to reporters at the sidelines of an even, Mr Singh said,'everyone is aware of our stand in the matter. Our stand on the issue remains the same. Whatever decision has to be made will be done by the Supreme court (SC). I think we should wait for court's decision.' Earlier, talking to reporters, senior Lawyer Prashant Bhushan said that in its affidavit filed before the Supreme court, the Central Government has said that the continuance of illegal immigration of Rohingyas into India and their continued stay has serious national security ramifications.
