Goa Tourism Minister, Dilip Parulekar, said this today, while commenting on accusations of rape and kidnapping leveled against two Africans by an Indian woman on Sunday. He said Nigerian students commit crimes on purpose, to prolong their stay, sell drugs and indulge in unwanted things.
His comment is coming after some Africans in New Delhi staged a protest against rising attacks on them and a group of African students also met Foreign Secretary, S. Jaishankar, in that regard. Parulekar also said that a strict pan-India law should be enacted to deport arrested Nigerians within one month.
His words: “Nigerians create problem not just in Goa, but in the entire country. Nigerian students come to Goa and India to study, they get an FIR filed (against them), make it a judicial matter and then try to stay in India or Goa and indulge in drugs and other unwanted things.
Two years ago I had heard they had blocked the (national highway 17) highway. India should have a strict law, where the police force can catch them and deport them back within a month. But that law is not in India at the moment, therefore it is a weak point in matters of governance.”…. their matter tire me, I swear….
