1,500 Bangladeshi tribals seek refuge in India

[Brahmos_2]

AGARTALA: Over 1,500 tribals in Bangladesh fled to the Indian border along Tripura seeking refuge after ethnic strife broke out with non-tribal Muslims, officials said here on Sunday.


"Over 1,500 men, women and children of Chakma and Tripuri tribes have taken shelter in the India-Bangladesh border village at Karbook after fleeing from five villages in Khagrachari district," Border Security Force (BSF) deputy inspector general Bhaskar Rawat told IANS.

"The tribals entered Indian territory on Saturday evening after ethnic troubles in Bangladesh. They were stopped at the border by the BSF. We are providing them food and other assistance."

The tribals, mostly Buddhists and Hindus, fled the Chittagong Hill Tracts after clashes over the reported abduction of a local leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), the main opposition in Bangladesh led by former prime minister Khaleda Zia.

An official of the Tripura home department said the state government has informed the home ministry about the development.

"At least one tribal villager was killed, four tribals were seriously injured and about 500 tribal houses were burnt to ashes," Delhi-based rights group, Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) director Suhas Chakma said in a press release.

Additional troopers of the BSF have been deployed along the India-Bangladesh border to deal with the situation.

"The villagers have been insisting that officials of the Bangladesh government and BGB (Border Guard Bangladesh) should talk to them," Rawat said.

In 1986, over 74,000 tribals - mostly Buddhist Chakmas - took shelter in southern Tripura following violent attacks on thousands of tribals by non-tribals.

Demanding a sovereign status for tribals in Chittagong, separatist outfit Shanti Bahini had waged a guerrilla warfare against the Bangladesh government.

All the 74,000 refugees had returned to their homes in 1997-98 after the Bangladesh government signed a peace agreement with Shanti Bahini.

Tripura shares a 856-km border with Bangladesh, which is porous because it extends over mountains that are densely forested. Most parts of the border have been fenced.

Bangladeshi Hindus and Buddhist refugees should be given Indian citizenship

News bring music to Razakars ears. Mother nature has a lesson pending for these miscreants. give it decade or two

 

[Tshering22]

First kick out the Rohingyas who are taking refuge here and are joining hands with LET against our country.

Then we can assimilate these guys.

I do not find any problem as long as these tribals vote for congress. they also will get ration card, driving license , PAN card etc., and become opposition member in the state assembly.

 

[CaPtAiN_pLaNeT]

Seems like a bogus news and propaganda which has been circulated by "ASIAN CENTRE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS". Except it no other reported it and other 1 or 2 media just quoted it. Considering Bangladesh is a small country if any incident like attacking on 5 villages and burning the villages along with 500 homes to ashes would have been happened it would surely became a national news. Due to the small size no such incident can be hidden here in Bangladesh.

I will appreciate if anyone can show the pictures of 5 villages and 500 houses which has been reported destroyed and burned to ashes.

I have not found any such thing. And most importantly these tribal seems trying to cross border for different reasons not for burning of their houses to ashes.

It is not surprising people will make an easy guess to find out who has prepared these propaganda sh!t.

No surprise.

A typical story all over such countries. The minorities inevitably get wiped out from such places. There are very few exceptions in history to this rule.
