India said Bangladesh’s remarks on alleged “pushback” incidents should be viewed in the context of the repatriation of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants and urged Dhaka to expedite pending nationality verification cases. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India expects cooperation from Bangladesh, noting that over 2,860 nationality verification cases are still pending, some for more than five years. He stressed that timely verification is necessary for smooth repatriation. The remarks came after Bangladesh foreign minister Khalilur Rahman and home minister Salahuddin Ahmed expressed concerns over possible “pushback” incidents following the BJP’s victory in West Bengal elections. India maintained that cooperation is essential for addressing the issue of illegal immigration and ensuring proper border management between the two countries.
