Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina will begin her four-day visit to India from today. Prior to her journey, yesterday in an interview, she mentioned Rohingyas as a “big burden” for her country.
In her interview she said, “For us, it’s a big burden. India is a vast country and you can accommodate, but in our country there are about 1.1 million Rohingyas. We are consulting with the international community and also our neighbouring countries to take some step in repatriation of Rohingyas.”
She also added that, “As soon as they return it’s good for Bangladesh and also for Myanmar. We are trying to pursue them, discuss with them.”
The PM also mentioned that, “We have been providing everything to them and during the COVID-19 pandemic, we vaccinated all those in Rohingya community. But how long will they stay here?”
Bangladesh, who helped Rohingyas to escape a genocidal purge in 2017 is now seeking international help to deliver fast repatriation of the Rohingya to their country Myanmar.
