The government today said there was no decision nor any move on visa-free entry of Bangladeshi nationals into India.
"We have seen reports in the press regarding 'decision' on visa-free entry for Bangladeshi nationals. It is hereby clarified that no such decision has been taken by government nor is any such move under its consideration," official sources said.
Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi had told a press conference in Guwahati that his government is opposed to any relaxation of visa norms for free entry into India of Bangladeshi citizens below 18 years and above 65 years of age.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will pay a three-day visit to Bangladesh from June 25 during which she will hold talks with the top leadership there on a host of issues of bilateral and international interest.
