Dhaka, June 18: As India submitted fresh evidence of presence of nearly 100 terrorist training camps of militants operating in North East and Jammu and Kashmir to Bangladesh, Dhaka has once again accused New Delhi of pushing nationals into its territory. Border Security Forces have attempted to push in 72 times during the five and half months of current year, Home Minister Altaf Hossain Chowdhury said in reply to a question in parliament yesterday.

During these attempts BSF tried to send in about 5000 people into Bangladesh, the home minister said adding Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) had protested to India for the "push-in" and also asked them to stop.

The home minister's remarks came on the day when senior officials of BDR and BSF began a two-day meeting in southwestern Khulna town to resolve differences.

"We recently submitted fresh authentic evidence of 99 terrorist camps in Bangladesh to Bangladesh government as these camps are sponsoring terrorism in the Northeast and have links with J&K militants," BSF Additional Director General A K Mitra had said in Jammu yesterday.
