Rohingyas from India coming to Bangladesh
Says foreign minister
Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen yesterday said a good number of Rohingyas have been coming to Bangladesh from India through the fences in recent times.
These Rohingyas went to India in 2012, he told reporters, adding that they are coming after hearing that they will have good food in Cox's Bazar.
He said their relatives in Cox's Bazar apparently conveyed to the Rohingyas in India that they are living happily in Cox's Bazar with good food supplies. "As a result, they (Rohingyas) are getting into Bangladesh in groups."
The bad news is that they are coming through fenced areas with the help of brokers on both sides of the Bangladesh-India border, he said.
A total of 18 Rohingyas have been detained recently, and they were coming in groups. "We have to engage more security forces to stop them."
