Hosting huge Myanmar Nationals big burden,
she says
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today urged the
international community to mount pressure on Myanmar to stop pushing its
nationals into Bangladesh and takes back Rohingya refugees.
"Hosting a huge number of Myanmar nationals is a big
burden for Bangladesh. We've given shelter to them only on a humanitarian
ground," she said.
The Prime Minister made the call when newly appointed Indonesian
Ambassador to Bangladesh Rina Prihtyasmiarsi Soemarno met her at her office.
After the meeting Prime Minister's Press Secretary
Ihsanul Karim briefed reporters.
Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh has given shelter for the
Myanmar refugees on humanitarian ground and hosting a huge number of Myanmar
refugees in Bangladesh is a big burden for the country.
The Indonesian envoy highly appreciated the Bangladesh
government for giving shelter to the huge Myanmar nationals on humanitarian
ground. "Bangladesh is taking the right steps in this regard," she
commented.
Reiterating her government's strong stance against
terrorism, Sheikh Hasina said the policy of the present government is very
clear and Dhaka will not allow any body to use Bangladesh soil to carry out
terrorist act against any neighbouring country.
Senior PMO Secretary Suraiya Begum was present on the
occasion.
