BSF's Nuisance

[leonblack08]

Can someone clarify what is meant by 'THE AREA IS IN LEGAL ADVERSE POSSESSION OF INDIA' as written in the Indian newspaper? To me it seems this area is under illegal possession of India, or is newly claimed by India and send its BSF troops to steal fish from that lake.

By reading reports from two sources, it seems that Indian Khasias came to steal fish in our lake with the direct assistance from BSF. But, when our villagers resisted the stealing, BSF troops fired upon them that injured three. In retaliation, our BDR counter-fired and the exchange of fire continued for some time.

Indian newspapers are blaming our new BDR commander for all these. Is it because he ordered his troops to resist Indian BSF's intrusion? But, BDR is there to resist all the Indian mis-adventures.

I agree with you sir.That's what have happened,but again we see the Indian media in rescue of BSF,as always I must add.

If BDR fired first,then there should be more causality on the Indian side.Instead we see 3 Bangladeshi are injured and not a single Indian injured.

According to the Indian media report,there was no casuality,whereas we see 3 injured.A case of hiding facts?

According to their report,it means BDR shot 3 Bangladeshis

And BSF just protested

Ya BDR intruded India and fired back towrds BD border and injured 3 BD civilians if the BSF version is true.

BDR intruded India and shot 3 Bangladeshis

That's what Indian media report is implying.

 

[leonblack08]

Do you think your BDR is all honest...and so called Doodh Ka Dhula...

BDR is not "doodh ka dhula",we agree.Some jawans are corrupt,just as some BSF jawans.

But BDR doesn't have the record of intruding and shooting Indian villagers.A record which BSF jawans proudly holds i.e. shooting Bangladeshi villagers,even inside our territory.

Where does the report (The Assam Tribune) say that BDR 'intruded' India?

SYLHET, Feb 14 (UNB): Three Bangladesh nationals were wounded in an unprovoked fire incident by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) at Jaintapur border at about noon today.

Bullet-wounded Hill Resource (Alur Bagan) Manager Rashed Mia, truck worker Abdur Rahman and quarry worker Ambia Khatun were rushed to Osmany Medical College and Hospital and were admitted.

BDR retaliated and trading of gunfire with interruptions continued until the last report from the spot came at 4:30 pm. More than 200 gunshots were heard, villagers were fleeing homes from border area for safe shelters.

Confirming the incident BDR officials said that a group of BSF troops along with Indian Khasia tribal fishermen trespassed into Bibir Haor, about half a kilometre from the borderline, at about noon and started fishing in the haor.

On resistance by BDR of Jaintapur outpost, Indian border troops opened fire at them. BDR retaliated and trading of gunfire continued, with interruptions, until the last report came in at 4:30 pm.

Residents of Bibir Haor, Ghilatail, Phulbari, Kamlari, Guabari and Kendri Haor fled homes to safer places as the gunfire continued.

Earlier on February 4, BSF troops trespassed into Balair Haor and abducted BDR Nayek Mujibur of Tamabil border outpost that followed exchange of heavy gunfire. Mujibur was however, returned following a flag meeting between BDR and BSF at 8:00 pm on that day.


Three Bangladesh nationals wounded in BSF firing

"Grapes " happened at border...BD media reported "Oranges"...Indian media reported "Apples"......and at we are discussing/ arguing on "coconut"

Regarding BD fishes..Many of us buy BD's Hilsa....they are ummy....plenty of BD Hilsa fan on this side of border.
Hoping for speedy recovery of villagers and end to such "interactions"

peace

The value of stolen fish is much more than a few litres of petrol. Immediately after the liberation war, Indian BSF or what used to send even helicopters to take back stolen fish from our Kaptai lake.

India could do so without counter action because our forces were neither in good number, nor they were well organized. Things are different now. Neither we would allow stealing of our water nor our fish.

Repeated BSF provocations ominous

THE sequence of events that eventually led to the exchange of fire between the Bangladesh Rifles and the Border Security Force of India on the Jaintapur frontier in Sylhet on Sunday, in which three Bangladeshi nationals were hit by BSF bullet, only underlines what could be termed the characteristic propensity of the Indian border guards to instigate flare-up on the border. As a report front-paged in New Age on Monday indicates, the BSF actions were provocative through and through.

According to the report, 30 to 40 Indian nationals crossed some 300 metres into the Bangladesh territory for fishing at a marshland while more than one hundred others, led by BSF personnel, stood guard on the zero line. When the on-duty BDR soldiers requested their BSF counterparts to take back the intruders, it led to an altercation, at one point of which the Indian border guards opened fire. Soon, the border guards were firing into the Shreepur Stone Quarry near the Shreepur border outpost, wounding three civilians, including a woman. The exchange of fire did end in the afternoon; however, the BSF refused to entertain a BDR request for a flag meeting.

The incident occurred in less than two weeks after the BSF had crossed about 50 metres into the Bangladesh territory and kidnapped a BDR soldier of the Jaintapur outpost at gunpoint on February 4. Although the BSF eventually handed over the BDR soldier, it now seems that the Indian border guards were only too keen to make sure that the border remained tense. So much for the Indian government’s commitment, as articulated in the Dhaka-Delhi joint communiqué issued at the end of the Bangladesh prime minister’s January 10-13 state visit to India. It is pertinent to recall that the BSF killed a Bangladeshi on January 12 a day before the communiqué was issued.

Insofar as the border trouble is concerned the communiqué was a travesty of truth, to say the least. The phrase ‘both Prime Ministers agreed that the respective border guarding forces [should] exercise restraint’ unduly brackets the BDR with the BSF in respect of atrocities on the frontier. The statistics would vouch for that. For example, in less than a year since the February 25-26 rebellion at the BDR headquarters, the BSF killed more than 50 Bangladeshis. Needless to say, there has not been any report of any Indian nationals killed by the BDR. Moreover, so rampant have been the BSF atrocities that the BDR, in a report submitted to the home ministry in January, even recommended a dawn-to-dusk ban on the movement of Bangladeshis within 150 yards of the zero point inside the Bangladesh territory, to save Bangladeshi nationals from getting killed by the Indian border guards.

Still, the Awami League-led government has seemingly chosen to keep faith in the assurances of its Indian counterparts, although such assurances often proved empty in the past and despite the continued BSF atrocities on the border. Indeed, Bangladesh needs to have cordial relations with India. Indeed, mutual trust is essential for healthy bilateral relations. However, in respect of its relations with Bangladesh, trust and goodwill gestures have been largely one-sided. Moreover, in view of the repeated BSF, many have started suspecting that India may be trying to drag Bangladesh into large-scale border skirmishes. Hence, the government would do well to look at the recent developments, and look hard; after all, it is always better to err on the side of caution.
