The Border Security Force has successfully prevented the influx of Rohingyas into India after they fled Myanmar, Director General of the force K K Sharma said Saturday.
He was talking to reporters on the sidelines of an event at the BSF's Central School of Weapons and Tactics here.
"As you know, about eight to 10 lakh Rohingyas (after fleeing Myanmar) have entered Bangladesh. We have successfully prevented their illegal influx in the country (India)," Sharma said.
The BSF chief said the Indian government was providing necessary support to Bangladesh on the Rohingya issue.
"Bangladesh is dealing with this problem very well. Bangladesh has kept all Rohingya refugees on an island and is extending full support to them. In this case, the Indian government is also providing support to Bangladesh."
