On the one hand, the Yunus government stopped the entry of Rohingya, on the other hand, India's blockade is troubling... after 3 weeks there will be face-to-face talks with Bangladesh.

Two faces of the Yunus government of Bangladesh have come to the fore. On one hand, Bangladesh officials are shedding tears over the border fencing by India, while on the other hand, the same officials are busy closing the Bangladesh border with Myanmar. After the fall of Sheikh Hasina, cases of illegal infiltration from the Bangladesh border into India have continuously increasing, to stop which the work of border fencing was started by the Indian government.

India's fencing hurt Bangladesh so much that it summoned the Indian ambassador and expressed its concerns. Bangladesh is calling the steps taken by India to stop illegal infiltration a violation of the 1975 border agreement and is arresting Rohingyas entering its country. On January 5, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) arrested about 36 Rohingyas and sent them back to Myanmar.

BGB caught at least 58 Rohingya refugees on January 11 when they were trying to cross the Myanmar border with the help of human traffickers. Bangladesh has been sheltering Rohingyas for a long time and about 1 million Rohingya refugees are living in Bangladesh. After the Yunus government has taken several steps to stop Rohingyas from crossing the border from Myanmar, all hope seems to be lost for the Rohingya people who have been facing violence and atrocities since 2017.

BGB chief coming to India to discuss the blockade

Bangladesh Border Guard Force Chief may meet with Indian officials in February. This will be the first meeting after the fall of Sheikh Hasina government, in which key issues like fencing the border and tackling cross-border crime will be discussed.

Border Guard Bangladesh (BJB) Director Major General Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui and Border Security Force (BSF) chief Daljit Singh Choudhary are expected to hold a meeting during February 16-19.

Rohingyas' last hope also ended

Bangladesh's crackdown on the Myanmar border has shut down the Rohingyas' last hope. A Rohingya citizen, while talking to The Guardian, said, "We are struggling just to survive. Food is hard to find, there is no clean water and every day is a battle to save my family from the horrors happening around. But after the incidents against our people in Bangladesh this month, we have lost all hope."
