Rebel camps still exist in Bangladesh: Tripura CM

Agartala, Apr 5 (ANI): Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has said more than 20 militant camps still exist in Bangladesh.

Addressing a public rally here on Sunday, Sarkar said: "Around four years back we noticed a change in the situation; they (militants) have become and have been cornered, but not uprooted. Still today around 20 to 25 camps of Tripura militants exist in Bangladesh and they are trying to increase their strength eyeing the Autonomous District Council poll."

"On the other side of the border they are waiting for the green signal from their allies on this side," he added.

Sarkar travelled to Dhaka last week to attend Bangladesh's Independence and National Day celebrations.

During his visit, he met Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Foreign Minister Dipu Moni to discuss implementation of various projects relating to connectivity and trade. (ANI)
