Terming Bangladesh as a peace-loving country, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Wednesday said the mortar shelling issue will be resolved through mutual talks with Myanmar.
"We achieved our independence through war, so we are the nation of heroes," he said after a high-level meeting at his ministry conference room on the repeated firing of mortar shells on Bangladesh territory from Myanmar, reports BSS.
"Our prime minister is not in the country. We are observing a situation that Myanmar Army is engaged in war with Arakan Army, which ammunition is coming across the border to our country," he said.
"After the meeting, we have come to the conclusion that our national policy is friendship to all and malice towards none. We always discourage war," he said.
"Not a single Rohingya will be allowed to enter Bangladesh. The Border Guard Bangladesh and other law enforcing agencies are also working to this end," he said.
Mentioning that on Friday a person was killed and some others were wounded when mortar shells fired on a camp from the Myanmar side, Kamal said that Bangladesh strongly condemned it.
