BNP on Tuesday urged the government to take appropriate diplomatic steps to ensure the repatriation of Rohingyas to their motherland in Myanmar following the new political development in the neighbouring country.
“Although lakhs of Rohingyas have been staying in Bangladesh for the past few years after being forcibly displaced from Myanmar, the government has not been able to make any arrangement for their safe repatriation,” said BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
In a statement, he said, “In the current new political context, BNP urges the government to take swift diplomatic actions so that the issue (of repatriation of Rohingyas) does not become more difficult or complicated.”
The BNP leader also voiced concern over the military coup in Myanmar by revoking the parliament elected under the leadership of Aung San Suu Kyi.
