Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina's big statement on CAA and NRC, says 'this is India's internal issue'

Dhaka: Bangladesh's participation in the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi was being discussed as Bangladesh began to distance India from the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Meanwhile, on Sunday, Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina has made her stand clear on CAA and NRC.

Sheikh Hasina has said that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is an internal matter of India, but at the same time it said that the law was not necessary. As per the Citizenship Amendment Act, citizens of India, Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians from India will be granted citizenship by 31 December 2014 due to religious persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Protests are going on in many places in India against this disputed law.

In an encounter given to the media, Sheikh Hasina said about India's Citizenship Amendment Act, that we do not understand why the Indian government did it. This was not necessary. His statement came after Bangladesh Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen's statement that CAA and NRC are India's internal issues, but had expressed concern that any kind of uncertainty there would affect the neighborhood.
