State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam has urged the people to keep faith in the government over the issue of bringing back abducted BGB Naik Abdur Razzak.
The junior minister also expressed his hope that the authorities would bring Razzak back home from Myanmar in a short time.
In his latest Facebook status posted on Tuesday, Alam said: "Naik Abdur Razzak will be brought back home very soon. Process is under way."
Every country should abide by the clauses of “Vienna Convention” regarding the relationship between the two countries, he said in the post.
Moreover, there is way to remind about the convention if any country violates or forgets the clauses, he added.
The post read: “We are aware of the dignity of our citizens, officials and defence members.”
Patience, strategy and accurate decisions are necessary to settle such kind of situation, he opined in the social media.
He ends saying: “I know that a citizen may not understand these things. But I would like to say to them: Keep trust on us.”
On Monday, the director general of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) confirmed that Myanmar’s border security force will unconditionally release the BGB member.
This comes hours after the Myanmar Border Guard Police (BGP) told the BGB that they would release Naik Abdur Razzak on condition that Bangladesh took in the 554 boatpeople rescued off Myanmar coast last month.
The BGB Naik, along with his SMG, was abducted by Myanmar’s BGP in the Naf River near Jadimura area of Teknaf border in Cox’s Bazar on June 17. In the skirmish that preceded the abduction, a BGB member named Biplob was shot by the members of the Myanmar force.
Protesting Razzak’s captivity, BGB on Friday sent an e-mail and several fax messages to Myanmar.
On Thursday, the Foreign Ministry of Bangladesh summoned the Myanmar ambassador to Dhaka to protest the border shooting and abduction.
This is the second such incident since the Myanmar authorities abolished its Nasaka force in July 2013 and deployed the BGP.
