GUWAHATI: Bangladesh has for the first time agreed to take again 33 of its nationals declared infiltrators by various foreigners tribunals in Assam. These migrants are lately in various detention camps. Dhaka's decision is not going to most effective upload a new measurement to the bonhomie between the two nations, but will also exchange the tone and tenor of the agitations for and towards the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 and the National Register of Citizens, whose final draft might be out on June 30. Earlier, Bangladesh, particularly beneath Khaleda Zia's Bangladesh Nationalist Party, would deny the presence of its citizens on Indian soil.
Additional DGP (particular branch) Pallab Bhattacharya advised TOI Bangladesh's decision was a "goodwill gesture" because there is not any repatriation or deportation treaty between the two nations. "Bangladesh's assistant high commissioner, based in Guwahati, recently toured the detention camps and met the convicted infiltrators," he stated.
Last month, Bangladesh had known 152 of its nationals lodged within the camps and written to the exterior affairs ministry proposing repatriation in batches.
Bhattacharya stated the Centre, in 2013, had issued directions to Assam not to ward off but deport the unlawful foreigners to Bangladesh. He stated the addresses of the persons within the detention camps were shared with Bangladesh. "After Bangladesh verified the addresses, it became clear that they are Bangladeshi citizens. Being declared as a foreigner by a tribunal does not necessarily mean that the person is from Bangladesh," he added.
