      like in 1st Q, answer is both ii and iii. this means the first part in Question — First, whilst it’s true that the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army — is correct
      and joining it with ii and iii –
      ii. has connections with Hafiz Saeed and al-Qaeda, it would be
      iii. grossly unjust to view all Rohingya as potential terrorists.
