DHAKA: "Push-ins" from India into Bangladesh are still occurring despite being in violation of existing bilateral agreements on repatriating citizens, claimed Bangladesh foreign affairs adviser Md Touhid Hossain on Wednesday.
Targeting BSF, he raised the issue of "killings" along the Bangladesh-India border, saying no border force had the legal authority to "shoot and kill individuals" who violate border laws. Those responsible should be held accountable under Indian laws, he said.
"We have been regularly protesting such incidents and we will keep continuing the protest," Hossain said. On the issue of "push-ins", he said, "There is a mechanism in place for identifying and repatriating citizens through exchange of lists. Push-in bypasses this process and is a clear violation of rules."
