India's border with Bangladesh secure: Chidambaram

New Delhi, Feb 26 (PTI) India's borders with Bangladesh
are "secure" and there are no threats to the 4,095-km boundary
in the wake of the rebellion in Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) in the
neighbouring country, Home Minister P Chidambaram said
Thursday.

"Our borders are secure. Our BSF is on the alert. I don't
think the BDR-Army dispute in Bangladesh will spill over to
our border," he said when asked about the situation in
Bangladesh.

There is "no threat to the borders," Chidambaram said.

Following the rebellion that had broken out in BDR
headquarters in Dhaka Wednesday, India's External Affairs
Minister Pranab Mukherjee had said that it was "exclusively an
internal matter of Bangladesh."

Replying to a question on the truce between the
Pakistan authorities and the Taliban in Swat and other
provinces, Chidambaram said the arrangement between the two
sides was a matter of concern for South Asia.

"It has been stated in Parliament that the arrangement
between Pakistan and the Taliban in respect of Swat does raise
concern for the entire South Asian region. Beyond that, I do
not wish to say anything," the Minister said.
