BNP for diplomatic efforts to resolve Rohingya issue

BNP senior leader Nazrul Islam Khan on Thursday called upon the government to take diplomatic efforts involving the international community to stop persecution on Rohingyas and ensure their safe and peaceful existence in their own country.

“We don’t say we need to help Rohingyas to fight against Myanmar authorities. We rather say diplomatic pressure to be put together with the global community so that they (Rohingyas) can peacefully stay in their own country. It should be Bangladesh’s political and diplomatic position on the issue,” he said.

The BNP leader further said, “It’s not a solution to give the Rohingyas any temporary shelter here. Ensuring their peaceful and safe existence in their own country is the solution.”

He came up with the remarks at a human chain programme in front of the Jatiya Press Club arranged by Jatiyatabadi Ulema Dal protesting the reported ongoing genocide and repression on Rohingyas in Myanmar. (Courtesy of theindependentbd.com)
