The Border Security Force of India pushed at least 62 more people, including 12 Rohingyas, into Bangladesh through different border points in Sylhet, Sunamganj, Moulvibazar and Lalmonirhat districts between Monday morning and Tuesday morning.

With the latest push-ins, the number of people, including Rohingyas and Indian nationals, pushed into Bangladesh by the BSF since May 7 has reached 1,617.

With the 12 Rohingyas, the Indian BSF has so far pushed at least 159 Rohingyas, including 50 registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in India, into Bangladesh.

New Age staff correspondent in Sylhet reported that 19 people were pushed into Bangladesh through Jaintapur border in Sylhet district, 20 people through Chhatak border in Sunamganj, and 16 people, including 12 Rohingya refugees, through Borolekha border in Moulvibazar.

Border Guard Bangladesh 48 Battalion commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Md Nazmul Haque said that 39 people, including women and children, were pushed into Bangladesh through the Jaintapur and Chhatak borders on Tuesday.

He said that the BSF pushed 19 people into Bangladesh territory through Minatila border point under the Jaintapur upazila at about 6:30am.

‘Later in the morning, 20 more people were pushed into Bangladesh through Noyakot border point at Chhatak upazila,’ the BGB officer said.

‘Among them, 38 people hail from Kurigram district and the rest one from Pabna district,’ he said, adding that they entered India at different times for job and they had been working in separate parts of India for a long time.

On Monday, the BSF pushed 16 individuals, including 12 Rohingya refugees, through Barlekha border in Moulvibazar.

BGB 52 Battalion commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Ariful Haque Chowdhury told New Age that the BSF pushed 12 Rohingya refugees and 4 Bangladeshis through Kumarshail border point at Shahbajpur union of Barlekha upazila at about 9:00am on Monday.

He said that a patrol team detained them immediately after they were pushed into the Bangladesh territory and handed them over to the police.

Barlekha police station officer-in-charge Abul Kashem Sarker told New Age on Tuesday that preparations were underway to send the 12 Rohingyas to the Cox’s Bazar refugee camp.

People of W Bengal being branded Bangladeshis
Says Mamata, blames BJP-ruled states of persecution

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee yesterday said Bangla-speaking people from the state were being branded as "Bangladeshis" in some BJP-ruled states.

She told reporters in Kolkata that she knew 300-400 Bangla-speaking migrant labourers were confined to a building in Rajasthan even after showing valid documents.

"Is it a crime to speak in Bangla -- the language of Rabindranath Tagore and Swami Vivekananda among other luminaries? I think Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not aware of this development. I will draw his attention," she said.

Mamata claimed that apart from Rajasthan, such incidents also took place in BJP-ruled Delhi and Madhya Pradesh in the past.

She said West Bengal Chief Secretary Manoj Pant is taking up the issue with his counterpart in Rajasthan.

"As far as my knowledge goes, whoever arrived till 1971 is an Indian citizen," she added.

Mamata said 1.5 crore migrant workers from different states are employed in West Bengal.

"But we can never think of taking such steps which go against the spirit of pluralism of India. What if such steps are taken against migrants from other states here for speaking their mother tongue? Is talking in Bangla considered sacrilegious by BJP-ruled regimes?" she asked.

Mamata said around 22 lakh migrant workers from West Bengal are currently employed in other states.

"Will Tamil-speaking people be deported to Sri Lanka since they speak Tamil, or will, for that matter, Indians belonging to the Gorkha community be sent to Nepal for speaking in Nepali?

"I often urge people to stay back and work here, but many go outside the state in search of livelihood. Is it their crime to speak in Bangla? They carry all relevant citizenship documents," she said.

Mamata had flagged the same issue on the floor of the State Assembly last week, stating that Bangla-speaking migrants from West Bengal were deported from BJP-ruled states in Western India and pushed towards Bangladesh despite producing all citizenship proof.

"The dialect spoken by people in Bangladesh is different from the dialect spoken by Bangla-speaking Indian citizens in West Bengal. How can residents of our state be harassed in this way?" she asked.​
