Dhaka: Bangladesh’s Jamaat-e-Islami has announced a protest march towards the India-Bangladesh border, alleging that undocumented migrants are being pushed into Bangladesh from India.
The Islamist party, along with allied organisations, has urged supporters to gather in large numbers and form a “human shield” along border areas to highlight their concerns.The move has intensified political debate over migration and border security issues between the two neighbouring countries.
The development comes as New Delhi and Dhaka continue discussions on improving cross-border management and addressing related challenges.
The planned protests are expected to draw attention to the sensitive border issue, which has emerged as a major point of concern in bilateral relations.
