India has ruled out the possibility of any tri-nation talks among Bangladesh, India and Myanmar over the deportation of Rohingyas though a section of media reported claiming that India has planned to deport 40,000 Rohingyas.

‘We're not aware of any such discussion. We don't know where you did get it,’ a diplomatic source in New Delhi told UNB on Sunday.

Other diplomatic sources said India did not want to get involved in the Rohingya issue when Bangladesh made a request in the past.

During his recent Dhaka visit, Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Dr Yousef bin Ahmad Al Othaimeen reminded Myanmar that Rohingya people must be given full citizenship and basic rights.

‘Rohingya people are denied their basic rights. They need to be recognised in giving their identity. They must return to their country. They must have their full citizenship,’ he said.

The OIC chief called upon the Myanmar government to come up with a roadmap on how to go forward to settle the issue peacefully.

‘We're very willing to come and sit down with you. Give us a roadmap [on] how to go forward. All the neighbouring governments, including Bangladesh, are willing to negotiate...to sit down how we can move forward on this issue. You can't deny human rights. This is very important for OIC,’ he said before leaving Dhaka.
