NEW DELHI: The Rohingya issue has the potential to "destabilise" the region, though it is a humanitarian issue at present, Bangladesh said on Friday.Bangladesh foreign secretary Shahidul Haque, who met his Indian counterpart S Jaishankar and national security adviser Ajit Doval on Thursday, said the influx of Rohingya refugees figured "prominently" in the discussions. He also suggested the issue may not yet have security implications.Asked about India's position that the Rohingya posed a threat, Haque said there were possibilities of radicalisation wherever there was large-scale movement of people, but Bangladesh had been able to contain the situation so far. They all look forward to go back. It is the responsibility of the State not to allow it (radicalisation)," he added. Haque said the international community had been made aware of how Myanmar was "snatching the rights" of the Rohingya.
