“The foreign ministry has signed a deal with Myanmar to send back the Rohingyas, but we have doubts over its implementation,” Muhith said on Wednesday. "A specific bilateral instrument (physical arrangement) for repatriation will be concluded in a speedy manner," the ministry said. Before the latest exodus of refugees, Bangladesh has been home to over 400,000 Rohingyas over the last few decades. On Thursday, he said that he would raise budget allocations for health, sanitation, food and other sectors for the Rohingyas next year. The international agencies are providing assistance for the refugees, said Muhith adding that they have already forwarded Bangladesh’s requirements for the next two years to the donors.
