Not inviting anyone again, says Kamal on Rohingya infiltration

In response to reporters’ questions about new Rohingya infiltration, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Thursday said Bangladesh will not allow anyone to enter into the border.

He said, “We are not inviting anyone again. Let them fight in their borders, but we will not allow them to enter our borders, this is our clear message.”

“Arakan Army, BGP, separatists or whoever they are they would not be allowed to enter into the border. This is our clear message,” said the minister at BGB’s 98th recruit batch passing out ay Baitul Izzat in Satkania, Chattogram in the afternoon.

The parade was held at the parade ground of Border Guard Training Center and College (BGTC&C), the traditional training institution of BGB.

The Home Minister said, “What are happening in Myanmar are their internal affairs. Myanmar has been in crisis at various times. Various separatist groups are fighting there, including Arakan Army.”

“Once we heard, Myanmar is engaged in war with Arakan Army. We have nothing to do with this incident. We think that Myanmar will fight in their territory, they will not invade our country.”

He said, “BGB has been protecting the border area with great competence. We have increased manpower (soldiers) in that place.”
