Foreign Affairs Minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud said that 285 members of Myanmar’s border guard police and army who have taken refuge in Bangladesh have been given clearance to return by sea on Myanmar ships.

He said that Myanmar has agreed to take them back by ship on April 22 and 150 Bangladeshis stuck in Myanmar will return on the same ship. However, the ship’s journey depends on the sea and the situation in Myanmar.

The Foreign Minister told reporters after unveiling the book ‘Bhubanjora Sheikh Hasina’s Asankhani’ written by Ekushe Padak winner journalist  Zafar Wazed and Director General of PIB in the meeting room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the capital on Friday evening.

Awami League’s Joint General Secretary Hashan Mahmud said in response to a question from journalists that BNP is staging a sit-in at foreign embassies again, “The greatest political weakness of BNP is to sit in front of foreigners for anything.”

If the source of power in Bangladesh goes to the foreigners instead of the people, the foreigners will not put the BNP in power. And Awami League believes in the power of the people.

The people voted and elected Awami League and gave the responsibility of running the country. The speech of BNP leaders seems like a circus.
