Abdul Momen said, "We want to believe in assurances. The prime ministers of the two countries have agreed to stop killing at the border. That is why border huts have been set up. In many cases it is because of trade and commerce. It happens. Criminal activity, cattle theft, drugs must be stopped. Otherwise, it will happen. One party should not be blamed. "
