Bangladesh's caretaker government will not give shelter to India's northeastern separatist guerrillas, local media reported Sunday.
"The eastern frontiers with India will be tightened further by the caretaker government to stop the activities of rebel guerrillas of India from inside Bangladesh. The guerrillas will not be allowed to set up camps on Bangladeshi soil," the Bengali- language daily Ittefaq quoted a Foreign Ministry official as saying, who prefers anonymity.
According to the daily, Bangladesh's caretaker government will also keep an eye so that Anup Chetia, secretary general of India's northeastern separatist group United Liberation Front of Assom ( ULFA), now serving prison term in Bangladesh for his unauthorized entry into the country, cannot run the guerrilla war sitting in Bangladeshi prison.
The current caretaker government has already given this assurance to New Deli to this effect, the daily said.
India has made charges that the separatists guerrillas have camps inside Bangladesh, but the past political government in Dhaka had rejected the allegations.
