Myanmar to return Razzak unconditionally: home minister

The state minister for home, Asaduzzaman Khan, on Tuesday said Myanmar has agreed to return abducted Border Guard Bangladesh member Nayek Abdur Razzak without any condition, reports United News of Bangladesh. ‘Last night I came to know through TV channels that they have put a condition to Razzak’s return. Earlier, on various occasions, they also demanded that 556 men be taken back by Bangladesh. We’ll bring them back on confirmation that they’re Bangladeshis,’ he said. The state minister said this while talking to reporters after the 27th meeting of National Acid Control Council at the Secretariat. Myanmar’s border police open fired on a Border Guard Bangladesh patrol boat in Teknaf of Cox’s Bazar in the early hours of June 16. A BGB solider, Biplob Kumar, suffered bullet wounds during the firing and another BGB member, Abdur Razzak, was abducted by the BGP. On Monday, Myanmar said they will hand over Razzak if Bangladesh agrees to bring back 556 rescued Bangladeshi migrants from Myanmar. Asaduzzaman Khan alleged that Myanmar was doing excesses as the issue of Razzak and that 556 men were quite different. In reply to a question, he said a flag meeting between BGB and Myanmar border police would be held soon to bring back Razzak. News Courtesy: www.newagebd.net
