Pranab due mid-Jan, wants to visit Rohingyas

Former Indian President Pranab Mukherjee is likely to be here on a three-day private visit this month, reports UNB. "Yes, there's a possibility. Most probably in the second week of January," a diplomat told the news agency indicating that Pranab might arrive in the capital on January 14. His programmes are yet to be finalized but he expressed interest to visit Rohingyas in Cox's Bazar district. "I can tell you he expressed interest to visit Rohingyas. But things are yet to be finalized," said the diplomat. Pranab, who has served as the 13th president of India and has been enjoying his retirement life by reading books and writing his diary, is likely to deliver speech as Convocation Speaker at the East West University in Dhaka apart from other engagements. Meanwhile, Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali will attend the Raisina Dialogue, a multilateral conference committed to addressing the most challenging issues facing the global community, in New Delhi.
