Dhaka, May 21 -- Bangladesh Home Affairs Minister Salahuddin Ahmed said that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam are "legal and administrative matters," stressing that there is "no scope" for Dhaka to comment on the issues 'completely internal' to India.

Speaking at a press briefing at the Bangladesh Secretariat here today, the minister said, "India's CAA or Assam's NRC are their own legal and administrative matters concerning their citizens. There is no scope for Bangladesh to comment on those issues."

However, the minister added that Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) remains on high alert along the border to prevent any kind of illegal infiltration or push-in.
