Guwahati (Assam) [India], August 7 (HBTV): Amid the ongoing political turmoil in Bangladesh, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma raised concerns on Wednesday over the illegal infiltration from Bangladeshi borders, stating that the situation can force some people to come to India.
"On the situation in Bangladesh, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma says, "The incident that happened in Bangladesh is concerning; there are two angles. One is that if such unrest continues in Bangladesh, then some people will be forced to come to India so we have to secure our borders," Sharma said.
Himanta Biswa Sharma also voiced the possibility of Bangladesh becoming a safe ground for terrorist activities in the future.
"During the time of Sheikh Hasina, all terrorist groups from the north-east were removed from Bangladesh, the Assam chief minister said.
‘For us, it will be a matter of concern. Once again, Bangladesh must not become a safe haven for such terrorists. I hope the Indian government will stay in constant touch with whichever government is formed there,’ Sarma said.
