Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Friday called on the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus to bolster diplomatic efforts and exert pressure on Myanmar to facilitate the safe, dignified, and voluntary repatriation of Rohingyas who sought refuge in Bangladesh.
“Tripura shares a long and porous international border with Bangladesh. If any Bangladeshi or Rohingya tries to enter the state illegally, we will not allow them. And if they somehow manage to sneak in, we will ensure they are pushed back after following the legal procedures,” Saha told reporters.
During interrogation, the detainees revealed their Rohingya identity.
A collaborative effort of the RPF and the GRP uncovered suspicious activity during a routine inspection at the station.
The refugees are alleged to have been illegally and arbitrarily detained in jails/detention centres or juvenile homes across the country.

In an interaction with ANI, Hasina confessed that the presence of lakhs of Rohingyas in Bangladesh had created challenges for her regime.
So, what the Union Government is doing with the Rohingyas clearly violates the international protocol in regard to the rights and freedom of the refugees.
"National security is of utmost importance to us and like we have said before, illegal immigrants won't be given shelter here; MEA in talks to send them back to their countries," the Information & Broadcasting Minister said.
The ICJ decision really is a huge step towards an overdue reckoning with the Myanmar military's atrocities against the Rohingyas.
