Quader said since the outset of Rohingya crisis, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been continuing diplomatic efforts seeking cooperation from the international community for the peaceful solution of the problem. Quader said the government took the initiative to shift Rohingyas to Bhashan Char with additional facilities as their repatriation to Myanmar has been delayed. Under the circumstances, those Rohingyas who have shifted to Bhashan Char expressed their satisfaction, he went on saying. But some international organizations and media is spreading that the Rohingyas were shifted forcefully which is not true, he added. The minister said only those, who voluntarily wanted to shift, were taken there and no pressure was put on them.
