Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed told Parliament that Bangladesh has initiated steps to build barbed wire fences along the Myanmar border to prevent killings, infiltration, drug and arms trafficking, and other cross-border crimes. He added that plans for constructing similar fences at sensitive points along the Indian border are under consideration. The minister made these remarks during a parliamentary question session chaired by Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed.
Responding to lawmakers, the minister said that since August 5, 2024, a total of 2,369 people were pushed in by India’s Border Security Force (BSF), of whom 11 were handed back to the BSF, 183 were pushed back, and the rest were transferred to police stations. He noted that after the West Bengal assembly election, the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) thwarted 36 BSF push-in attempts.
Ahmed described the killing of unarmed Bangladeshi citizens by the BSF as tragic and a clear violation of human rights. He said Bangladesh has strongly raised the issue at BGB-BSF director general–level meetings and continues to oppose the use of lethal weapons under the pretext of self-defense.
