Https, May 23 -- Bangladesh Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen lashed out at the countries that are pressuring an already overburdened Bangladesh to accept more Rohingya refugees. Speaking about a recent meeting with ambassadors of the European Union countries on Friday, the minister said if the European and American governments were so worried about the wellbeing of these refugees, they were welcome to accept them into their countries.

"I told them the average annual wage of our people is USD 2,000, whereas for you it is USD 56,000. And in our country 1,200 people live in every square kilometre, while in yours it is 15 . Why don't you relocate these refugees to your countries?
