Staff Reporter :
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has claimed that the ruling Awami League is collaborating with India to make Bangladesh a dumping ground of the Indian citizens who are excluded from the Indian citizenship.
He said this while addressing a press conference at the party’s Naya Paltan office in the capital on Thursday.
Mirza Fakhrul accused the government of abetting India in making Bangladesh a dumping ground only to stay in power.
Awami League was endorsing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) of India in advance while it had sparked widespread protests in India, he added.
He also criticised Foreign Affairs Minister AK Abdul Momen’s comment that the people entering Bangladesh from India would be sent back if they were not Bangladeshi citizens.
 “This means the government admitted that push-in is happening,” said Mirza Fakhrul.
The BNP Secretary alleged that AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader’s took position against the country’s people by supporting the remarks statement of Indian Home Minister Amit Shah  
said that many Hindu people had migrated to India due to communal violence after the BNP-Jamaat government took over in 2001.
“We condemn and protest Obaidul Quader’s such comment,” he said.
