Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, on Monday, denied that the Centre has ever asked the Rajasthan Government to round-up Bangladeshi migrants in a transit camp and expressed unhappiness over the state Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje’s ‘solo statements’ following the Jaipur blasts on last Tuesday.

The Home Minister said the Chief Minister’s comments has  ‘exposed her weakness’.

In the back-drop of  Bangladeshi migrants coming under scanner after the blasts in the pink city, Vasundhara Raje had claimed that the Centre had suggested it to put illegal migrants in a transit camp.

She had said the State Government had written numerous letters to the Centre from time to time on the issue of deportation of Bangladeshi nationals who were finding their way into Rajasthan.

“We wrote to the Centre in June 2007 to say, look we need to do something about this. We got a reply back from the Centre saying, well why don’t you just collect them and put them into a transit camp somewhere,” Raje told ‘Walk the Talk’ programme on NDTV.

“Perhaps she is shaken after the recent blasts and is saying anything that is not true. She should have avoided it. She has just exposed her weakness,” Patil told NDTV channel when asked for his reaction to Raje’s comments.
