DHAKA / AGARTALA, Sep 19 (TIWN): Both anti-national parties CPI-M and TMC led by Manik Sarkar, Sitaram Yechury, Mamata Banerjee kind of anti-national politicians that these politicians least bothered about India's national security so they need Islamic terrorists like Rohingyas at any costs to fortify vote banks.Terming the Rohinhya issue as a security threa, a Bangladesh minister on Monday said the presence of the refugees in his country also had a security angle because of which the administration has started their registration. Over eight lakh Rohingya refugees were now sheltered in Bangladesh which is boiling as time-bombs for terrorist production.Alam said Bangladesh had given proposals to Myanmar for talks on the Rohingya crisis, but did not receive any "favourable response".Bangladesh has given a "note verbale"to the Myanmar High Commissioner's office in Dhaka regarding use of land mines at the border between the two nations to prevent the Rohingyas from moving into Bangladesh. Bangladesh likely to raise the issue of massive Rohingya refugee influx which already turned country a major breeding ground of Rohingya terrorists.

Condemning the attacks on the Myanamar security forces allegedly launched by the Rohingya community, Bangladesh Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Mohammed Shahriar Alam said his government has ordered the administration to ensure they do not leave the areas earmarked for them.

"We have asked the law enforcement agencies and the local administration to take measures so that the Rohingya population do not move out of the areas earmarked for them," he said.

"We have always condemned the attacks (on Myanmar security forces) and we will continue to do so in future," he said.

He said Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina would broach the Rohingya issue at the United National General Assembly session later this week.

"But there is possibility of talks at ministerial level on the sidelines of the UN meet," he said.

Minister said Bangladesh medical authorities were treating three Rohingya Muslims who were injured in mine blasts while trying to flee Rakhine state and move into Bangladesh. The bodies of two of those killed in the blasts were also now in Bangladesh.

Alam said though the presence of the Rohingyas at this moment was not impacting the Bangladesh economy, his country wanted a solution to the crisis so that the influx was stopped.
