Saiful Haque, General Secretary of Bangladesh’s Revolutionary Workers Party, has described the Indian Border Security Force’s (BSF) push-in activities as evidence of India’s anti-Bangladesh and aggressive attitude. In a statement to the media on June 17, 2026, he said that India’s hostility toward Bangladesh has intensified since the formation of a BJP government in West Bengal. He expressed strong dissatisfaction and condemnation over the BSF’s alleged actions of forcing people, including women and children, into Bangladeshi territory.

According to Haque, BSF personnel have pushed hundreds of people across the western border into Bangladesh, leaving some stranded in the no-man’s land without food, water, or medical care, creating a severe humanitarian situation. He stated that both countries have legal mechanisms for repatriating citizens, and any forced push-in violates international law.

Haque urged India to immediately stop push-in activities and border killings if it truly seeks friendship with Bangladesh, accusing India of maintaining a double standard by continuing anti-Bangladesh actions while speaking of friendship.
