Rohingyas, stranded Pakistanis exerting economic pressure on Bangladesh: PM Hasina

[Hephaestus]

How did Pakistanis get stranded in Bangladesh?!

Erstwhile Razakar progeny and for some reason aren't welcome to the always Muhajir loving Pakistan.

 

[Black_cats]

I think these stranded Pakistanis are being held as hostages in BD.


So they are POWs. How long is BD planning to keep them? Generally POWs get released in months or years. In this case these POWs are under detention for over 50 years. That is very cruel.

After war ended in 1971 they became useless in front of Pakistan and became a mare group of Indian Muslim who has no link to Pakistan.

They have been offered Bangladeshi citizenship but most won’t accept it as still they are dreaming of going to Pakistan.

No one is hostage or kept them as POW.

 

[SuvarnaTeja]

No they don't have Pakistani citizenship.

They don't want or cannot get?

Why don't BD repatriate them to a third country like Sri Lanka or Maldives as refugees if they do not want take BD citizenship and live in BD? Keeping them in BD is just going to give a bad name.

I had to google Razakar

That's not even logical let alone fair. bengali doesn't equal to Bangladeshi. ones a linguistic group, the other is an administrative unit.

India claims over 400 million Bangladeshis live in India.

Okay so let's make adjustment to my previous proposal. Let's swap everyone who came here after the creation of Bangladesh, and are not citizens of Pakistan, for the Biharis in BD.

Only people who can grant them citizenship is PK....BD can not force PK to do that.

These guys lives in refugee camps and are registered as bona fide refugees with the UN. BD wont force them to move.

After so long BD simply offered them BD citizenship. Most have accepted, they are full BD citizens and have moved out of refugee camps.

De facto BD considers them BD citizens for good or bad. Sometimes there is no helping some people. Temporary issue now.

Prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday called the displaced Rohingyas and stranded Pakistanis as burden for Bangladesh, saying they are putting pressure on country's economy.

"Three years have already passed after Rohingyas influx in Bangladesh and it's a burden for us," she said.

The prime minister said this while newly appointed ambassador of the Netherlands to Bangladesh Anne Gerard Van Leeuwen paid a courtesy call on her at her official Ganabhaban residence in the capital.

She added that the Rohingyas are also destroying the environment and forest resources of Cox's Bazar.

She also talked about the stranded Pakistanis, saying, "These (Rohingyas and stranded Pakistanis) are creating economic pressure on Bangladesh."

PM's press secretary Ihsanul Karim briefed the newsmen after the meeting.

Talking about the Rohingya issue, the Netherlands envoy apprised of his
talking about the issue with the refugees and NGO activists.

He expressed his realization that the solution is rooted in sending back the Rohingyas to their native land Myanmar.

Sheikh Hasina appreciated the Netherlands contribution to her country’s development and formulate the Delta Plan-2100.

To this end, she recalled Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s stance to develop Bangladesh through land reclamation like the Netherlands.

Recalling her last visit to the Netherlands the prime minister said that she was overwhelmed to see production and preservation of agricultural items using the Green House system.

“We can also adopt the system as our country is an agro-based one,” she said.

The Dutch envoy said they are eager to share their experience to this end.

Sheikh Hasina said her government is doing the river dredging in the country as part of the measures to increase water reservoirs to preserve water.

The prime minister said that they are converting the Cox’s Bazar airport into an international airport to attract more tourists in the world's longest unbroken sandy sea-beach.

She said her government is setting up 100 economic zones at different parts the country to attract more domestic and foreign investment and thus spur the country’s overall development.

Dutch ambassador Anne Gerard Van Leeuwen appreciated Bangladesh's development under the visionary and dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The envoy said that he had travelled Bangladesh by air and witnessed the landscape of the country which he said similar to his own country.

Later, Ambassador of Nepal in Bangladesh Banshidhar Mishra paid a farewell call on prime minister Sheikh Hasina at her official Ganabhaban residence in the capital.

The prime minister said Bangladesh is developing the Syedpur Airport as a regional one and Nepal can use the airport.

She also offered Nepal to use Mongla and Paira ports.

The prime minister also recalled with gratitude Nepal's support during the War of Liberation.


PM's Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim briefed newsmen after the call on.

The Nepalese envoy has sought cooperation from Bangladesh for development of their agriculture sector.

He also praised Bangladesh’s overall development saying that they are moved with its development.

The Nepalese envoy thanked the prime minister as Nepal always gets Bangladesh’s support in their needs and recalled Bangladesh’s medical assistance after the earthquake hit their country.

He thanked the Bangladesh prime minister on behalf of his country's president and prime minister as she sent Haribhanga Mangoes.

Ambassador-at-Large Mohammad Ziauddin and principal secretary Ahmad Kaikaus were present at the meetings.

One way to look at this is that Biharis are closer to Bengalis than Punjabis.

There are no stranded Pakistanis. the people she is referring to were living in that area before bangladesh came in to being, so they are your own citizens. treat them as equal citizens.

That's not even logical let alone fair. bengali doesn't equal to Bangladeshi. ones a linguistic group, the other is an administrative unit.

India claims over 400 million Bangladeshis live in India.

It does in Pakistan's context. All the Bengalis in Pakistan arrived post independence and were Bangladeshi citizeins.

 

[SuvarnaTeja]

I think the best way to resolve this issue would be for Pakistan to accept all western Indian Muslims (Kashmiris, Punjabhis, Sindhis, Rajasthanis, Gujaratis) as her citizens while Bangladesh accepts all eastern Indian Muslims (Assamese, Bengalis, UP, Bihar) as her Citizens.

They claim themselves to be pakistanies and stranded because PK wont give them citizenship.

BD have given them route to claim citizenship....if they wont accept what else can you expect BD to do.

Why do they move as refugees in Pakistan instead of being refugees in Bangladesh as an interim step until they get citizenship in Pakistan?

there is no issue

Do you think it is normal to have people in both Pakistan and Bangladesh with no citizenship from either country?

 

[Imran Khan]

BD was east pakistan and muslims from eastern indians states moved to east pakistan in 1947 as migrants . do you want them to move from assam /bihar/UP/jharkhand /west bengal/odisa / chattisarang to walk thousands of KM to west pakistan while east pakistan was near to them ?
