The Rohingya youth are getting involved in militant activities in the name of Islam. Several militant groups are using them in their activities. The Rohingyas have become a new threat for the country and the government.

The law enforcing agencies have been instructed to monitor the movements of the Rohingyas very closely. The government has decided to take urgent steps to send the Rohingyas back to Burma, it is learnt.

This issue was discussed at a high level meeting in the home ministry. The state minister for home affairs, Lutfuzzaman Babar, chaired the meeting. Inspector-General of Police, Abdul Qaium, the head of Bangladesh Rifles, Maj-Gen Jahangir Alam Choudhury, the head of Rapid Action Battalion, Abdul Aziz and other high officials were present there.

Nothing has been officially said about this meeting. The government has adopted a cautious policy about the Rohingya refugees as some international rights groups are behind them.

Twenty-five Rohingyas have already been arrested from Chittagong in connection with militant activities and 17 August blasts, according to several sources. The intelligence agencies are now certain that militant groups are using the Rohingyas on the basis of their confessional statements. Young Rohingya females are also being used according to the intelligence report.

The movements and the general activities of the Rohingyas are to be monitored round the clock, according to a source. Police raids are also being approved in case of necessity.
