The fate of 31 Rohingya Muslims stranded on the international border between Tripura and Bangladesh continues to hang in balance as both Indian and Bangladesh authorities have refused to accept them, reports Indian Express on January 21. According to Border Security Force (BSF) officials in Delhi there was no question of India accepting them as Bangladesh authorities have not yet provided any evidence of the Rohingya having crossed over from India. A Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) official stated that ‘It is definitely not a case of BSF pushing Rohingya across the border as no one would push 31 people together. However, how and from where they reached where they are at the moment is a matter of investigation. Unless it is proven that they crossed over from India, there is no reason why we should accept them’.

Government officials stated that over the years, there have been instances of Chinese agencies directly or indirectly providing assistance to militant groups of the Northeast, reports Assam Tribune on March 30. Officials stated that ‘The possibility of Chinese agencies trying to influence the Northeast-based militants to create disturbance during the polls cannot be ruled out, but such groups have very limited capability after their camps were destroyed by Myanmar Army’. Sources further pointed out that though India has cordial relations with Bangladesh, the possibility of the anti-India forces, which have bases in that country, trying to create trouble during the polls cannot be ruled out and that is why, the security of India-Bangladesh border cannot be overlooked. Terrorist outfits like Jamaat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Neo JMB, which has links with the Islamic State, Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) are still active in Bangladesh and they may try to sneak into India to create trouble during the polls.

Claiming a sense of distrust and hostility from non-tribals in the aftermath of anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests, Bru migrants have asked the local administration to hold peace meetings and allay fears of ethnic tension, reports Indian Express on December 22. Mizoram Bru Displaced Peoples Fprum (MBDPF) president Apeto Sawibunga claimed that a section of non-tribal people from Kanchanpur (Tripura) “took advantage of the situation” and “manipulated” the issue to blame the displaced Brus over the violence. The Bru leader also said that migrants living in the camps are anxious due to the prevailing situation. During the indefinite strike called on December 9 by Joint Movement Against CAB (JMACAB), a collective platform of tribal parties and social organizations, violence was reported from parts of Sipahijala, Dhalai and North Tripura Districts.

The local administration-imposed Section 144 and deployed Police and para-military contingents to contain the situation.
