B’desh concerned over Rohingya infiltration from India

Dhaka, May 23 (UNI) A letter from Bangladesh has been sent to India, expressing concern over Rohingya infiltration into Bangladesh from India.
Dhaka sent the letter to New Delhi on Sunday. According to foreign ministry sources, Rohingyas were entering Bangladesh from India through various borders. Concerns were raised in the letter to India’s Ministry of External Affairs “to stop such unwanted influx of Rohingyas”.
A large section of Rohingyas who were forcibly displaced from Rakhine State of Myanmar over the last few, did not only populate Bangladesh especially Cox Bazar area and others, but also took refuge in different provinces of India.
Recently reports have said Rohingyas from India were headed to Bangladesh instead of returning to their homeland.
On May 16, Foreign Minister, AK Abdul Momen, said, “Rohingyas are coming to Bangladesh from India in the hope of good food. This is a concern for us.”
He added “unfortunately many Rohingyas are moving to Bangladesh. These Rohingyas entered India in 2012 and took refuge in different provinces of the country. Now they have heard that if you come to Bangladesh you will get very good food and drink. We will tell India that such an accident is happening.”
Amid military repression, rape and massacre in 2016 in Myanmar, Rohingyas sought refuge in Bangladesh, which currently is home to more than 1.1 million Rohingya people.
