Lieutenant General (Retd.) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, advisor to the Ministry of Home Affairs, clarified on Sunday that the three Bangladeshis sent back from Malaysia are not militants but were deported due to visa expiry. Speaking after inspecting the cargo terminal at Shahjalal International Airport, he stressed that there has been no militant presence or activity in Bangladesh over the last decade, as media reports have confirmed. He also said the Bangladesh government has not received any official communication regarding the statement made by Malaysia’s Inspector General of Police on this matter.
