The party’s standing committee has called the transfer a “suicide”, ignoring international organizations, including the United Nations.

Of the more than 1.1 million Rohingya in Cox’s Bazar, the first batch of 1,500 was brought to Bhasanchar Island off the coast of Noakhali on Friday.

Several international organizations, including the United Nations, oppose the Rohingya being brought to Bhasanchar.

A press release signed by BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said on Sunday: “The meeting called the decision to relocate Rohingya refugees over objections from the United Nations and other international organizations a suicidal process.” The meeting felt that this would weaken the demand for the return of Rohingya refugees in dignity and safety.

“The meeting believes that this transition process will help serve the interests of Myanmar and that this issue will endanger the sovereignty of Bangladesh, on the one hand, and will have a lasting negative impact on Bangladesh’s environment, economy and politics. for the other”.

Although Myanmar has signed an agreement with Bangladesh to recover the deported Rohingya, repatriation has not started in two years. Bangladesh has been urging international organizations to force Myanmar to create an environment conducive to the return of the Rohingya to Rakhine State.

The BNP, aware of the concerns of the United Nations, the European Union and other international organizations, called on the government to immediately halt the relocation process in the interest of the return of the Rohingya refugees to Myanmar.

He also suggested increasing diplomatic efforts to increase international pressure on Myanmar.

“The current Awami League government has failed to demonstrate its sincerity and goodwill towards the return of the Rohingya,” the statement said. In the long run, they have not managed to internationalize the problem effectively.

In addition to Fakhrul, Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Moudud Ahmed, Jamiruddin Sarkar, Mirza Abbas, Gayeshwar Chandra Roy, Abdul Moin Khan, Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, Selima Rahman and Iqbal Hasan participated in the virtual meeting of the Permanent National Committee chaired by the interim president of RaPh in Tarique.

At a meeting of the BNP standing committee, concern was expressed that the police were obliged to request permission to hold political demonstrations in Dhaka in the month of Vijay.

The standing committee also condemned the vandalism of the BNP office in Kushtia and the arson attack on the business premises of the district secretary general, Sohrab Hossain.

“Failing in all respects, the government is trying in vain to deceive the people by inciting violence and communalism in a colonial manner to deflect public discontent,” the statement said.
