Law Minister Anisul Huq today said the government wants the Rohingya crisis to be resolved in a peaceful manner and the foreign ministry is working to this effect.

"The incidents with the Rohingyas are internal matter of Myanmar, but they cannot be brutally killed and cannot be forced to leave their country. Our foreign ministry is working so that international pressure is made on Myanmar to stop such activities. The foreign ministry has achieved some success and will continue to do so," he said.
