UNB, Dhaka :
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami on Thursday expressed deep concern over India’s reported move to connect
Teesta-Ganga-Manas-Sankosh covering three states, saying the country will turn into a desert if the neighbouring country implements it.
In a statement, Jamaat acting ameer Maqbul Ahmad also said the Islamist party is ready to cooperate with the government to resolve the outstanding problem with India relating to sharing of water of the common rivers.
Mentioning that Bangladesh and India share 54 common rivers, he said the country is not getting the due share of water from the rivers as India has set up various dams on them ignoring international rules and regulations.
