Global consensus is urgent for the Rohingya repatriation to Myanmar from Bangladesh, said Dr Khalilur Rahman, the high representative of the chief adviser for Rohingya and priority affairs.

He made the comment at a session on "Bangladesh in Crossroad: Governance, Democratic Reforms and the Roadmap post Sheikh Hasina" at the Doha Forum being held in Qatar.

In his six-minute video address, Dr Khalilur Rahman said Bangladesh has been providing shelter to nearly 12 lakh Rohingya for the last seven years only for the cause of humanity, despite many limitations.

"It has become challenging to continue this support without more support from the international community," he told the session.

The High Representative said an all-stakeholders' conference is being organised by the UN, and it is expected that the conference will facilitate the repatriation of the Rohingyas.

Dr Khalilur Rahman also presented the context of the July-August uprising in Bangladesh, saying how the Awami League regime killed people and injured thousands of them.

Now, there is a great opportunity for building a country based on democracy and equality.

"We can say that the reforms done were good when we will see that a farmer, worker or the children of marginalised groups can dream of leading the country. The interim government is working towards that end," Khalilur Rahman said.

He also said the interim government is being affected by the concerted, false and baseless news.

He expects more responsible and neighbourly cooperation from India for Bangladesh's transition from fascism to democracy.
