Responding to a question, the minister said he had 'no good news' regarding the return of Italy-based migrants. "Considering their (Bangladeshi migrants) past behaviour and a possible second wave of the coronavirus, they (Italy) are very wary. After closing its borders for a few months during the pandemic, Italy allowed arrivals from Bangladesh at the start of July. Later on July 9, the European nation embargoed entry for Bangladeshis initially until Oct 5. ”Meanwhile, Bangladeshi migrants had recently protested outside the Italian embassy in Dhaka when flights to Italy did not resume after the Oct 5 deadline.
