UNB, Dhaka :
Member secretary of the National Committee to Protect Oil, Gas, Mineral Resources, Power, and Ports Professor Anu Mohammad has said that the government is busy meeting the demands of India instead of raising demands on behalf of Bangladesh ahead of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s forthcoming trip to New Delhi.
He said the government is proceeding to sign a security deal with India without any logical grounds. “There is no logic or purpose behind the government’s move to sign the proposed security deal. It’s an Indian plan to establish supremacy over Bangladesh.” He brought the allegation while addressing a roundtable
discussion on “Bangladesh-India Relation: The Imperatives to Establish Equality and Respects” at Jatiya Press Club organised by Gonosanghoti Andolon (GA), a leftist party, on Monday.
The National Committee leader said Bangladesh is being deprived of its rightful stake in the Teesta river while the government is more interested to implement the Rampal power plant project to serve the interests of India.
With GA chief coordinator Zonayed Saki in the chair, the function was also addressed, among others, by Prof Kamal Ahmed, Prof Nasim Aktar Hossain, Biplobi Workers Party general secretary Saiful Haque, CPB leader Shah Alam, BSD leader Bazlur Rashid Firoze, Prof Tamim Uddin Khan and Prof Moshahida Sultana.
GA central leader Abul Hasan Rubel presented the keynote paper at the seminar.
Prof Anu Mohammad said the masses in Bangladesh are always kept in the dark by the government about any big deal with India. As a result, it was possible to transit Indian goods through building an embankment on the Titas river near the border with Tripura. Zonayed Saki said India has been opening the way to the ugly face of communalism, to establish Hindu nationalism and heat up the politics of the sub-continent.
