Making a strong pitch for India to play a bigger role “according to its capacity” on the problems of nearly a million refugees who fled violence to live in camps in Cox’s Bazaar in Bangladesh, Mr. Guterres said the violence they faced from Myanmar security forces was “unacceptable”.
 
“What can India do now? First, support Bangladesh with the huge humanitarian problem it faces now. Second, India must put pressure on Myanmar, not just in reconstruction of Rohingya villages, but in creating the environment for these people to go back,” Mr. Guterres said at a “town hall event”, taking questions from students, journalists and officials from the United Nations and the NITI Aayog. He described India as a “fundamental pillar of multilateralism”.
