No anti-India rebel groups in B'desh: Minister
Bangladesh Home Affairs Minister Lutfurjjaman Babar has claimed that there were no camps of anti-India insurgent groups in his country.
Bangladesh Home Affairs Minister Lutfurjjaman Babar on Tuesday claimed that there were no camps of anti-India insurgent groups in his country.
He was speaking to reporters while crossing over the Tinbigha enclaves in the border areas of Indo-Bangla falling in West Bengal's Coochbehar district.
"After receiving complaints from India government, we had investigated all those but we could not find any camp in our country," Babar said.
Indian government has been time and again asking the Bangladesh government to dismantle the anti-India insurgent groups' camps on its soil.
Top level leaders of many rebel groups were hiding in Bangladesh after the Bhutan government's "all clear" operation in 2003 evicted them.
The Bangladesh minister, however, refused to admit it that Indian rebels were in Bangaldesh.
He said the Indian government gave them a list and map of 194 militant camps, which did not exist at all.
