UNB, Dhaka :
The International Farakka Committee (IFC), an international environmental organization working as water rights advocacy group, urged all patriotic political parties and organisations in Bangladesh to have the issue of sustainable basin-wide management of common rivers as the main issue of life and death of people in their political and election manifestoes.
Leaders of political parties in Bangladesh are now spelling out their party-positions on different issues in view of the upcoming general elections. In a statement on Tuesday, the IFC said the political parties and their leaders in Bangladesh can strengthen their appeals to the people by inserting in their political manifestoes on a priority basis the question of sustainable basin-wide management of common rivers to safeguard environment and life.
The common rivers are central to the environment and ecology in Bangladesh. They involve the question of life and death of the people. Political parties that do not include in their political manifestoes the question of sustainable management of common rivers are bound to be detached from the people the IFC statement said.
