Dhaka: Despite India's categorical denial, Bangladesh has again alleged push-in of Bengali speaking Indian Muslims into its territory and threatened to show the "situation on the ground" to foreign diplomats in Dhaka.

"If the border problem persist, diplomats may be taken to see for themselves the situation on the ground," Bangladesh Foreign Secretary Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury said.

Talking to reporters on January 30, he alleged that "There were so far 30 attempts of push-in of Bengali speaking Indian nationals into Bangladesh during the last few days."

Earlier, responding to Bangladeshi allegations, India said, "There was no question of any Indian being pushed into Bangladesh by the Indian government."

Rejecting Dhaka's charge, India's Deputy High Commissioner in Bangladesh Dilip Sinha expressed concern over the presence of illegal Bangladeshis in India and called upon Dhaka to acknowledge the gravity of the situation and address it in a sincere and pragmatic manner.

Sinha was speaking on January 26 after he was handed over "aid memoir" to protest the alleged push-in attempts.

India has also asked Bangladesh to dismantle anti-India insurgent camps operating from its territory. Dhaka, has however, refused to acknowledge their existence.

Dhaka has briefed foreign diplomats, excluding South East Asians, early this week over the matter.

Chowdhury said, "Dialogue with Indian authorities is on as we view this very seriously and with deep concern."

He said Bangladesh's diplomatic missions in Kolkata and New Delhi have been asked to ascertain the situation and raise the matter push in with Indian authorities for its early resolution, according to BSS news agency.
