BGB chief says, '445 Bangladeshi nationals caught returning from India in last two months since publication of Assam NRC'

Dhaka: 445 Bangladeshi are returning to their country after the National Citizenship Register (NRC) is implemented in Assam. This claim has been made by the head of Border Guard Bangladesh. He has said that 445 Bangladeshi have returned from India in last 2 months after NRC publication. Earlier, Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) chief Major General Shafinul Islam told that over 300 Bangladeshis have been arrested on behalf of India for lack of travel documents while traveling to Bangladesh.

Islam said in response to a question that, "We regularly catch people crossing the border. These Bangladeshi come to India unknowingly or for some work." On the question of India pushing 'illegal' immigrants in Bangladesh on a regular basis, the BGB DG said, "We regularly arrest people crossing the border illegally."

Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) chief Major General Mohammed Shafinul Islam, who visited India last Sunday, said that the use of the controversial National Civil Register (NRC) process in Assam was a 'political' as well as 'internal matter' of India.  Islam responded to a question during a joint press conference with the Border Security Force (BSF) after signing the Joint Record of Discussion with the Indian paramilitary force.
