Published on: 

Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar on Thursday said  India's goal was to see how the Rohingyas could go back to their  place of origin, contending that the crisis should be addressed through  a realistic approach rather than doing strong condemnation.

He said India had already voiced its concerns over the gravity of the crisis and held "very high level conversations" with Bangladesh and Myanmar. "The fact that there is an exodus of a large number of people from the Rakhine State in Bangladesh is clearly a matter of concern. Our objective will be to see how they can go back to their place of origin.
