Malda (WB), July 02: No anti-India militant activity
would be allowed on Bangladeshi soil, the Bangladesh Rifles
Director-General (BDR-DG), Mohammad Mainul Islam, said today.
The present government shares good relations with India
and the Sheikh Hasina regime wants to make it better, Islam
told reporters after a two-hour-long meeting with the BSF's
Murshidabad sector DIG, Dilbar Singh Sidhu, at Mahadipur BSF
camp in the district.
"Allegations of anti-India activities from Bangladesh had
been made earlier. In future, no militant activity will be
allowed on Bangladeshi soil," Islam said categorically.
The BDR-DG said that a home secretary level meeting
would be held between India and Bangladesh between July 11 and
14 in Dhaka and that the DGs of both the country's border
guards would be present in that meeting.
Problems related to the two countries' rivers, trade and
border would be discussed in the meeting, he said while
pointing out that small border problems should be sorted out
locally.
