No one from Myanmar will be allowed to enter country: Kamal

COXS BAZAR, Mar 31: Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said no one from Myanmar will be allowed to enter Bangladesh under any circumstances.
 
"There is an ongoing conflict within Myanmar, with government forces clashing with the Arakan Army and several smaller insurgent groups. In this situation, no citizen or anyone else from that country will be allowed to enter," he said after a meeting on law and order situation at the Rohingya camps. Home Minister worries that some of the concerns regarding the presence of the Rohingya population in Bangladesh are coming to pass.

"The future of the Rohingyas expelled from Myanmar is uncertain. We have been saying before that if they are not sent back to their native Myanmar soon, there may be unrest here."

"A hub of international terrorists can be created here. There may be an influx of arms. Many things could happen. And we can see some signs of them."

The Ministers remarks came during a visit to a Rohingya camp in Coxs Bazars Ukhiya on Friday. The Minister went to the APBn office of the Rohingya camp at Ghonar Para 19 in Ukhiya at 11:00am. He met with APBn officials there until 12:30pm. Then he spoke to the media.

The Home Minister said, "Some of those who are fighting inside Myanmar can be seen here [in the Rohingya camp]. The biggest fear is that our country does not produce any drugs, but drugs have been coming in from Myanmar for a long time."

"Now some people in the camp are involved in drugs. We are trying to identify them. At the same time, efforts are ongoing to find weapons and those involved in killings."  Kamal said the main task is to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

The Home Minister said, "I came to the Rohingya camp and spoke with the APBn officials engaged in security work and learned about their challenges, the advantages and disadvantages. I told them that Bangladesh has built its history by suppressing militancy and terrorism."

"The APBn is helping Bangladesh move forward by providing security to Rohingya camps. The situation in the Rohingya camps is peaceful and under control because the APBn is doing its duty."

In response to a question, the Home Minister commented that Myanmars words and actions do not match.
"Bangladesh, along with many international organisations, is continuing to take action to repatriate the Rohingyas. Myanmar is a volatile country. A war is going on."

"Though various agreements or understandings have been signed with Myanmar on the return of the Rohingya, it has not progressed because of Myanmar. Hopefully, Myanmar will take back the Rohingyas soon."
