BD finds Myanmar`s claim of repatriating a Rohingya family ridiculous
By
16th-Apr-2018
UNB, Dhaka :
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Sunday termed ridiculous Myanmar's claim of repatriating a five-member Rohingya family saying
that Bangladesh does not have any information about that so-called repatriation.
"It's ridiculous to us. We've no formal information about the repatriation of a five-member Rohingya family. Myanmar didn't inform us about it. We're trying to know about it," he told reporters apparently expressing displeasure over the claim through international media.
Minister Khan came up with the remark when his attention was drawn about Myanmar's claimed that one Rohingya family was repatriated from a refugee camp across the border in Bangladesh.
The Home Minister said some 6000 Rohingyas are living on the zero line along Bangladesh-Myanmar border, and they are not inside Bangladesh.
He said they heard that the family was part of 6000 Rohingyas living on the zero line.
"These people do not need any identity verification. We've long been asking Myanmar side to take them back from the zero line," said the Home Minister.
He, however, hoped that the Myanmar side will take back all its nationals from Bangladesh, not one single family.
Director of Centre for Genocide Studies at Dhaka University Prof Imtiaz Ahmed said Bangladesh currently has a Rohingya population, which is far more than Bhutan's entire population.
Bhutan has around 800,000 people whereas Bangladesh had to give shelter to some 1.2 million Rohingyas.
The Associated Press (AP) report says Myanmar has accepted what appears to be the first five among some 700,000 Rohingya Muslim refugees who fled military-led violence against the minority group, even though the UN says it is not yet safe for them to return home.
A government statement says five members of a family returned to western Rakhine state from a refugee camp across the border in Bangladesh, reports AP.
