Bangladeshi civilians killed in BSF firing

The alliance also alleged that Bangladeshi civilians were killed in firing by India’s Border Security Force (BSF). It has also been announced to march to Indian border posts on this issue. This decision has come at a time when the issue of alleged push-in in Bangladesh, i.e. forcibly sending people across the border, remains a topic of discussion. According to reports, Dhaka had also raised this issue before the recent Director General level meeting held in New Delhi between the border security forces of India and Bangladesh. Although India has denied these allegations. India says that it is not doing any kind of push-in and only illegal foreign nationals are being sent back as per the due legal process and arrangements made between the two countries. India says that such people are sent back only after complete identity verification.
