India to take up terror issues with Bangladesh

Many insurgent leaders like Anup Chetia, Paresh Baruah and Arabinda Rajkhowa, who have been accused in a number of criminal cases in the northeastern region, have been hiding in Bangladesh.

Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta is also likely to impress upon his Bangladeshi counterpart Mohd Abdul Karim to take action against Bangladeshi nationals who have been involved in various terror attacks in India. Gupta is likely to present Dhaka with evidence of the involvement of HuJI and other terror organisations in a number of bomb blasts in India in recent times.

Last week, at the meeting of heads of border police of the two sides, Border Security Force Director General A K Mitra had handed to his counterpart a list of 110 terror camps operating in Bangla-desh which were being used to train militants . Illegal immigration, drugs trafficking, and smuggling of arms and fake currency are some of the other issues likely to be discussed at the meeting, sources said.
