Indian border force guns down two Bangladeshi youths

[Muhammad Saftain Anjum]

DHAKA:
India’s Border Security Force (BSF) killed two Bangladeshi youths and took away their bodies in a fresh firing incident, despite a repeated commitment from the Indian side not to use lethal weapons along border areas.
Yes, the incident happened on Sunday morning while the youths were returning from the Indian side, having cows with them. They were shot dead, and the Border Security Force of India did not hand over the bodies,” Omor Faruque, the officer in charge of Patgram Police Station, told Anadolu Agency.

The BSF fired at the two Bangladeshis along the Burimari frontier in Patgram subdistrict of Bangladesh’s northern border district of Lalmonirhat.

“The youths were coming from the Indian side [of the border] and were not carrying legal entry documents,” Faruque added.

The BGB sent a letter to the BSF in protest against the killings and demanded that the bodies be handed over. It has yet to receive a formal response from the BSF, however.

Killing of Bangladeshis unabated

The killings of Bangladeshis by the Indian border force have continued despite assurances from the Indian side of not using lethal weapons.

India shares its largest border area with Bangladesh. The two countries share a 4,096-kilometer (2,545-mile) international border, the fifth-longest land border in the world.

The Indian government has issued public orders to exercise restraint and end unlawful killings and made assurances to Bangladesh, including during talks in December 2020, according to Human Rights Watch.
Bangladeshi Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal told parliament in July last year that the BSF had killed a total of 294 Bangladeshi nationals in the last 10 years.

However, the Bangladeshi human rights organisation Odhikar alleged that the border forces have killed at least 334 Bangladeshis since 2011 and committed other instances of severe abuse, including 51 killings in 2020.

Why Bangladesh can't fence its border with?
This death number is huge and must be stopped.

BD forces should give these Gangis a befitting reply.

Why are we not arming the BD border forces? We can provide 40M in AID via weapons and provide secure financing for more as well. Even if its not major weapon systems we can give them night vision devices, drones, AZ light tanks, armored vehicles and machine guns, creating a lot of goodwill.

Similar to how we armed the Sri Lankan forces against the Tamil tigers.

It is about cultivating ties with low level majors/generals... The Awami League higher ups are corrupt and in the pockets of facist Gangedesh.

Good will must be built with nationalist and islamist forces in BD. Pakistan needs to step up its geostrategic game in south asia. Shift the focus more towards BD, Sri Lanka, and Nepal now that Afghanistan is under almost complete control. Corner the snake.

Just how ethnicity/religious leaning ruled the power dynamics in afghanistan it also rules the power dynamics of south asia as well. We need diplomatic yet strategic leaders to build an axis of resistance against Hindutva/brahmin terrorist in NORTH GANGEDESH. This axis of resistance would be led by Pakistan/islamist forces but in alliance with regional ethnicities, communist, Bengalis, Dravidians, Chinese and left wing groups.

Once we have that in place you will see Delhi fall like a house of cards just like how Kabul did.

We ought to piss on those BSF's grandmothers grave and dig it up with a JCB digger.

By importing weapons, Bangladesh will never be able to stand against India,at the end of the day, they will have to develop their own defence industry.with growing economy, they should take keen interest in developing a base for their defence industry.

I will pray for their defence industry to become formidable in next decade.in this decade Bangalis have no interest in weapons industry.

this is shameful for India and extremely tragic for all world. but I've hope that someday it'll get better, if Europe can recover from fascism, South Asia can too. free trade, free movement.

okey!!

 

[Maira La]

To be honest it's not BGB's responsibility to protect anyone trying to come in illegally from Indian side. Regardless of the nationality of these individuals, why were they crossing illegally? Smuggling in drugs from India?

 

[lightoftruth]

Anyone crossing the border illegaly should be shot dead, good job BSF.

Sad but they should have adopted the legal route . Crossing international border illegally is dangerous .

We ought to piss on those BSF's grandmothers grave and dig it up with a JCB digger.

Try illegal crossing you will face the same bullets . We are fed up with illegal Bangladeshis , they are in all types of crimes and illegal activities .

this is shameful for India and extremely tragic for all world. but I've hope that someday it'll get better, if Europe can recover from fascism, South Asia can too. free trade, free movement.

Europe or America or Africa , you need papers to cross borders .

This is an unfortunate incident but the root cause is beef ban in India and the poverty of the region.

Due to beef ban in India, cows that can no longer give milk have no use. Poor farmers then try to illegally sell these cows and middlemen try to smuggle these to BD where these can be then murdered and sold for beef.
Due to poverty of the region, poor middlemen risk their lives trying to illegally smuggle cows across the border.

If Indian govt wants to enforce beef ban, they also need to provide to the poor farmers some way to take care of old cows.
