The BDR yesterday in an official statement rejected the BSF suggestions.

Earlier on August 6, SC Vastava, Inspector General of BSF's Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur and Nagaland (AMM-N) Frontier, made the allegations in a press conference in Shillong. He also said a fresh list of 195 camps of Indian insurgents in Bangladesh had been handed over to BDR delegation in the meeting held between BDR and BSF at Comilla from August 2 to 5.

Vastava said 'the BDR authorities kept mum when an offer for joint operation by the two border guarding forces to dismantle the camps from both countries was made.'

The BDR yesterday claimed the aforementioned statement to be far from the truth.

They said Brig Gen Md Ibrahim Khalil, deputy director general of BDR, who led the Bangladeshi delegation, during the talks categorically rejected the BSF's claim about Indian insurgents' camp inside Bangladesh.

The DDG of BDR also reiterated that Bangladesh never allowed any criminals or insurgents to operate in its territory since it goes contrary to the national policy, the statement added.

The BDR statement said the BSF delegation has been informed that BDR had carried out in-depth search to trace out Indian insurgents and terrorist camps but could not find any.

BDR also set aside the BSF offer to conduct a joint operation saying that as there is no camp of Indian insurgents in Bangladesh, any question of such drives does not at all arise.
