Context:

According to senior officials of Bangladesh government, the country fears an exodus of Bengalis from Assam

Details:

  • Bangladesh has said that the ongoing process of compiling the National Register of Citizens in Assam may trigger an exodus of Bengalis and create one more Rohingya-like refugee crisis for Bangladesh,
  • It was further added that the process in Assam is threatening India-Bangladesh ties and will be exploited by anti-India elements and Islamic fundamentalists who are challenging the Awami League rule.
  • Bangladeshi policymakers are unanimous that the failure to conclude the Teesta water sharing agreement between India and Bangladesh has been disappointing and the ongoing process in Assam will complicate the situation further.
