250 Bangladeshi Tribals Seek Refuge in Tripura

[illusion8]

AGARTALA: Over 250 Bangladeshi tribals, mostly Buddhists and Hindus, have entered Tripura seeking refuge after ethnic clashes with non-tribal Muslims in their country, an official said here Tuesday.

"Over 250 men, women and children of Chakma and Tripuri tribes have taken shelter in northern Tripura's Gandachara area along the international border since Monday after fleeing their villages in Khagrachari district," Gandachara sub-divisional magistrate Bhaskar Dasgupta told IANS over phone.

"The tribals entered India Monday and Tuesday after ethnic trouble in Bangladesh. We have asked the Border Security Force (BSF) to step up security along the unfenced border," he said.

The tribals fled the Chittagong Hill Tracts in southeast Bangladesh after ethnic clashes and incidents of arson. The exact reason for the conflict is not yet known.

A state home department official said Tripura has informed the union home ministry about the development.

The BSF here also informed their headquarters in New Delhi and is coordinating on the matter with the Border Guards Bangladesh.

In a similar incident in August last year, over 1,500 tribals took shelter in the border village of Karbook after fleeing from five villages in the same Khagrachari district over the reported abduction of a leader of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party.

Tripura shares a 856-km border with Bangladesh which is porous because it extends over mountains that are densely forested.

Sad news........
Minorities are persecuted in Bangladesh and Pakistan......India must raise this issue to U.N just like it supported the Sri-Lankan Tamil issue.....
They are expelling their legal citizens in thousands and we are unable to deport even one illegal immigrant....

Anyway, these people must be given shelter and the process of deportation of Illegal Bangladeshi immigrants must be hastened.....

Keep them they are of no threat...

These lungi wallas are trying to act like their Arab masters. Take these people in, Arab wannabes in Bangladesh want them dead.

They should be taken in. But an equal amount of Arab wannabes must be sent packing.

In fact I think that Modi government should offer Bangladesh a full population exchange. Every single Bangla Buddhist and Hindu can migrate to India and Bangladesh take back their Muslims.

Both happy.

There is no ethnic tension in Khagrachhori except for the Burmese - BD border guard clash. However they are most possibly migrating because of internal conflict - as the tribal political groups are very active and violent. There are news of killing one another every other day.

The chakmas are the worst persecuted lot in tribals by bangladeshis. India should welcome all the tribals and minorities in Bangladesh to take asylum in India and send these bangladeshis back to their homeland.

they are threat to people Arunachal Pradesh. Should be send back to bangladesh as soon as clashes ends !

Are you crazy?the clashes will start again once they arrive,it is better we give them asylum and make them our citizens.

Talk about hypocrisy in its worst form.

Where is the hypocrisy? You annihilated the minority population in 60+ years down to 1% and 7% while the minority percentage grew in India.
Full population exchange should happen.We will remain in our land, you can live in your land with your ummah isn't this the basis of partition you people asked?Separate nations as per religion,you got it.
