In 1947 suddenly a political boundary line were drawn between Bengal. By which some portion
of Bengal or Bangla called west Bengal have gone to India and some to then Pakistan which
are present Bangladesh. But Bengalis were used to move between different parts of Bengal.
Sudden separation hampered communication between many families and hampered traditional
local business. This is why people of this region often illegally cross the border between
India and Bangladesh.
But Indian border guard BSF likes to shoot them. As if they do some target practice in the
border.
A former BDR DG said BDR never killed unarmed civilians. But BSF likes to do this.
BDR is now BGB, Border Guards Bangladesh. Doing their duty in the border. They arrested two
Indian nationals from Chapainawabganj Sadar upazila on charge of intruding into Bangladesh
on Wednesday. But they were not killed in the name of crossfire of in BSF style self
defense.
Few days ago Rapid Action Battalion, RAB also arrested three more Indian nationals. And also
there was no incident of crossfire. It seems due process of law will be followed here.
Why can’t we expect that BSF will follow BGB’s example that, when any civilian wrongly or
desperately crosses the border BSF will follow the due process of law?
