Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed today said he does not see any possibility of “pushback” into Bangladesh following the victory of the BJP in West Bengal elections.
“Despite this, we have instructed Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) to remain alert along the frontiers so they can respond promptly if any such incident occurs,” he said.
The minister made the remarks while briefing reporters after a session on the Ministry of Home Affairs at the Deputy Commissioners’ Conference held at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the capital, reports BSS.
Expressing optimism, he added, “I hope no such incident (pushbacks) will happen.”
