UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet calls on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at the latter's Ganobhaban residence in Dhaka on Wednesday — PID Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday reiterated her call to Myanmar to take back home the country's more than one million Rohingya nationals from their temporary shelter in Bangladesh, reports UNB.
"The Rohingyas are the nationals of Myanmar and they have to be taken back," the prime minister told the visiting UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet who called on her at her official residence Ganobhaban.
PM's press secretary Ihsanul Karim briefed the media after the meeting.
He quoted the PM as telling the UN rights chief that Myanmar neither refuses that Rohingyas are not their nationals, nor is taking them back to their homeland.
Bachelet, a former president of Chile, proposed to increase opportunities for education and work for the Rohingya nationals sheltered in Bangladesh.
In reply, the Prime Minister said such initiatives will not be possible in Coxs' Bazar, according to the press secretary.
