Many agreements have been signed on the return of theRohingya nationals but have stalled due to Myanmar, he says Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan says heworries that some of the concerns regarding the presence of the Rohingyapopulation in Bangladesh are coming to pass.

"The future of the Rohingya expelled from Myanmar isuncertain. We have been saying before that if they are not sent back to theirnative Myanmar soon, there may be unrest here.”

“A hub of international terrorists can be created here.There may be an influx of arms. Many things could happen. And we can see somesigns of them."

The minister’s remarks came during a visit to a Rohingyacamp in Cox's Bazar's Ukhiya on Friday. The minister went to the APBn office ofthe Rohingya camp at Ghonar Para 19 in Ukhiya at 11am. He met with APBnofficials there until 12:30pm. Then he spoke to the media.

The home minister said, "Some of those who are fightinginside Myanmar can be seen here [in the Rohingya camp]. The biggest fear isthat our country does not produce any drugs, but drugs have been coming in fromMyanmar for a long time.”

“Now some people in the camp are involved in drugs. We aretrying to identify them. At the same time, efforts are ongoing to find weaponsand those involved in killings.”

Khan said that the main task is to identify the perpetratorsand bring them to justice.

The home minister said, "I came to the Rohingya campand spoke with the APBn officials engaged in security work and learned abouttheir challenges, the advantages and disadvantages. I told them that Bangladeshhas built its history by suppressing militancy and terrorism.”

"The APBn is helping Bangladesh move forward byproviding security to Rohingya camps. The situation in the Rohingya camps ispeaceful and under control because the APBn is doing its duty.”

In response to a question, the home minister commented thatMyanmar's words and actions do not match.

"Bangladesh, along with many internationalorganisations, is continuing to take action to repatriate the Rohingya. Myanmaris a volatile country. A war is going on.”

"Though various agreements or understandings have beensigned with Myanmar on the return of the Rohingya, it has not progressedbecause of Myanmar. Hopefully, Myanmar will take back the Rohingya soon.”

After talking to the journalist, the home minister visitedthe hilly area of the A-7 block in the Rohingya camp. From there he went toTeknaf and spoke with BGB officials.
