Acknowledging the work done by Bangladesh for Rohingya refugees, India on March 27 said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hasina discussed the issue during their bilateral talks in Dhaka, and both the sides have an understanding on the refugee provided to more than a million displaced people from Myanmar's Rakhine state.
"This issue does come up and should come up.
There was an understanding between both sides that Bangladesh has done a lot to provide refuge to over a million displaced persons from Myanmar's Rakhine state," said Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla in Dhaka.
"Among the 109 ambulances that we just gifted, a few of them are for the camps where these displaced persons (Rohingya refugees) are housed," he added.
"There is very active collaboration and cooperation among India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan under BBIM group.
We spoke about Motor Vehicle Agreement that is in fairly advanced stage.
We want to take it further.
We are facilitating Bangladesi exports to both these countries via India," Harsh Vardhan Shringla further stated.
Opposition figures in Bangladesh sought to stoke anti-India sentiments, particularly as Sheikh Hasina secured her fourth consecutive term in office, bolstering her close ties with India. After months of silence, Prime Minister Hasina has launched a full-scale offensive against the opposition's "Boycott India" campaign. Known for her fondness for traditional attire like the sari, Hasina utilised this cultural symbol to confront her political adversaries.

Tragedy struck as a wooden boat carrying an estimated 150 Rohingya refugees capsized off the coast of Indonesia's Aceh province, sparking fears of multiple fatalities. The vessel encountered distress approximately 19km (12 miles) from the shores of Kuala Bubon on Aceh's west coast, succumbing to turbulent seas on Wednesday morning. Amidst the chaos, six individuals - four women and two men - were plucked from the water by Acehnese fishermen and ushered to safety in a nearby shelter. Tragically, it is believed that the majority of the presumed casualties were women and children, unable to navigate the waters and swept away by relentless currents.
