Awami League General Secretary and Road Transports and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader was present as the chief guest. While speaking Quader said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will ink the Teesta treaty like she signed Ganges water sharing deal. The minister said Teesta Water Sharing Treaty has moved one step forward as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his hope that the treaty will be signed during the tenure of incumbent governments of both the countries. Quader said those who sold their conscience to Pakistan, they will say the country has been sold through signing of the deals with India. “BNP could not achieve anything from India because of their anti-Indian stance. Nothing can be attainted amid enmity,” he said, adding that the incumbent government will achieve everything from India through friendly relations. General Secretary of ASL Pankoj Kumar Debnath conducted the function.
