No ARSA in Bangladesh: Foreign Minister

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen has claimed that there is no member of Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) in Bangladesh.

The foreign minister made the remark on Monday (10 October) in response to a query from journalists.

Responding to another question, Dr AK Abdul Momen said despite the decision at the highest level of Bangladesh and Indian governments, the incident of killing people on the border is sad for Dhaka.

Momen said, “If they don't keep their forces under control then it's a shame for a strong, developed, mature democracy like India.”

Muntaz Hossain and Md Abu Hasan were killed in firing from Border Security Force (BSF) of India on Saturday night. Muntaz died at the Baldia border of Chuadanga and Hasan died on the border of Khaitla in Satkhira.
