Talking of safe haven for terrorists here's the fact:
500 Bangladeshi terrorists still in India
No move to extradite them despite deal
. Mamunur Rashid
The Bangladesh government is yet to bring back more than 500 listed terrorists, including two of Harkatul Jihad (Huji), despite the signing of extradition treaty between Dhaka and New Delhi during Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's visit to India in January last year. "Of the 500 terrorists, the most wanted criminals Shahadat Hossain, Dakat Shahid, Khandaker Tanvir Islam Joy, Haris Ahmed Haris, Montu, Khorshed, Zisan, Halim, Rony, Mohammad Ali, Jeshin, Ashik, Nabi, Mosharraf, Chanchal and Shahin are reportedly taken shelter in the safe havens in different parts of West Bengal, mainly Kolkata," said a Home Ministry source. Meanwhile, the Awami League government has handed over at least 50 Indian citizens to its government, including the top ten leaders of the banned United Liberation Front of Asam (ULFA) and National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) after the signing of the extradition treaty. In return, India has not handed over any of the wanted criminals to Bangladesh. So, what Bangladesh has gained is nothing but a big zero, said the ministry source, preferring anonymity. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of police, in the meantime time, has written letters to the West Bengal CID and the Delhi CID asking them to hand over the most wanted Bangladeshi criminals to its government, the source added. Besides, a human rights organisation in India has said more than 500 Bangladeshi citizens are now languishing in different Indian jails. The recent visit of Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao has shown a light that Bangladesh and India will be able to settle their long standing unsettled issues. She said some disputes have already been resolved and the rest will be decided during the visit of Indian premier Dr Manmohan Singh to Bangladesh during the last half of this year. Officials of the two countries, Nirupama said, are waiting with a hope that the Teesta river water sharing treaty would be signed at the time of Dr Singh's visit. During Sheikh Hasina's visit, India agreed to sell 250-megawatt electricity to Bangladesh. Both the counties are preparing the line to supply electricity from India to Bangladesh. It was also agreed that Bangladesh would provide Ashuganj river port facility to India. India wants transit facility from Bangladesh for its North Eastern states. Bangladesh assures transit facility to India. Again India gets everything but what Bangladesh will gain is a big zero, experts opined. The government has so long failed to bring back Harkatul Jihad (Huji) activists, Morsalin and his brother Mottakin, who were involved in the August 21, 2004 grenade attack on the AL rally in Dhaka. These Huji men are currently in Tihar Jail in Delhi while some top listed criminals are now being kept in different jails of West Bengal. Long before signing the extradition treaty between Dhaka and Delhi, two listed criminals, Babul and Jewel, were handed over to Bangladesh police in December, 2007. Kolkata CID police also handed over two top criminals, Sanjidul Islam Imon and Tushar, to Bangladeshi in March, 2008. With Imon and Tushar, a total of seven listed criminals were deported to Bangladesh so far. The ULFA leaders, who were deported to the Indian authorities by Bangladeshi agencies at an outpost on the border in Meghalaya, are chairman of the banned outfit Arabinda Rajkhowa, his wife Kaberi Kachari and their two sons, deputy chief Raju Barua and Rajkhowa's bodyguard Raju Borah. Besides, the two other top ULFA leaders, Chitrabon Hazarika and Sasha Choudhury, also detained in Bangladesh were subsequently handed over to India. While the Bangladesh government maintained secrecy about the handover of Arabinda Rajkhowa, the Indian media reported that at least ten top ULFA and NDFB 'terrorists' were handed over by Dhaka. According to Indian media reports, two other rebel leaders, chairman of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) Ranjan Daimary and chairman of the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) Biswamohan Debbarma, were also handed over to India. Moreover, the two suspected members of the Indian-based militant outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were also deported by Bangladesh. A high official of Home Ministry, wishing anonymity, told The New Nation yesterday that the government has requested on a number of occasions to India to deport the Bangladeshi terrorists hiding there but they were not seemed responsive.
