Chittagong Bureau :
Chittagong Citizen’s Forum demanded that Bangladesh government should create pressure on Myanmar by international lobbing to return the Rohingya refugees. Barrister Monwar Hossain, President of Chittagong Citizen’s Forum held a press conference at Chittagong Press Club on Saturday morning and placed 14 recommendations to the government in connection with the Rohingya issue.
Barrister Monwar Hossain read out the written statement on behalf of the Chittagong Citizen’s Forum. He said in the statement that more than 10 lakh Rohingya people will create various types of crisis in Bangladesh particularly in Cox’s Bazar and Chittagong. “So, the Rohingya refugees will have to go back. Our Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has given shelter to them for humanity.

But, our government should start international lobbing for creating pressure on Myanmar for taking back their people and stopping genocide at Akiab and Myanmar.” He said Bangladesh should demand imposing economic sanction on Myanmar for torturing Rohingya people. “The United Nation (UN) should play a role to solve the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar permanently.” He also said, “Bangladesh should share some Rohingya refugees with the neighboring countries as well as USA and UK.”
He further said, “Rohingya refugees are passing their days at the Ukhia, Kurtupalong and other sides very badly. We should set up some medical centers at the areas for the treatment of Rohingya refugees.” “Sanitation system and water supply should be ensured at the Rohingya areas in Cox’s Bazar. Besides, Bangladesh government should give them Refugee Identity Card (RID),” he added.
Among others, secretary of Chittagong Citizen’s Forum Mohammad Kamal Uddin, Vice-Chairmen Hasina Jafar, Mohammad Younus, Nur Ali and Mohammad Musa, Joint secretary Dr Nahida Khanom Shimu, Akram Hossain, Hazi Abul Bashar, Dr Sheikh Mohammad Jahed, Mohammad Ali, Nur Nobi, S M Shafiq Ullah, Rahoma Akter Doly, Lovely Lee were present at the press conference.
