BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday alleged that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s India tour has failed to meet the people’s expectations.
“The people of Bangladesh expected that the Teesta water sharing deal would be signed as over one crore of people depend on the river. Unfortunately, it was not signed,” he told a discussion organised by ‘Amar Desh Paribar’ at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh, marking the fourth anniversary of the closure of the Bangla daily Amar Desh.
The BNP leader added: “The Prime Minister herself said about the outcome of her tour that she got something as seeking water she got electricity. That means she herself admitted that she did not get much, only ‘Kuchh to mila’ (got something). She talked about power which we have to buy. We think her visit failed to meet people’s expectations.”
Mirza Fakhrul said though the government claims that its relations with India
is now at the peak, it has failed to realise what Bangladesh should have got from the neighbouring country during Hasina’s visit.
The BNP leader alleged that the government is unable to obtain anything for Bangladesh from India due to its subservient policy. He accused the government of suppressing the BNP leaders and activists.
He also alleged that the law enforcers are threatening their party men of implicating them in militant cases if they do not give them toll.
“An alarming situation has been created in the country,” alleged the BNP leader.
He called upon the people of all walks of life to be united to get rid of the misdeeds and misrule of the incumbent regime. He also demanded reopening of the daily Amar Desh.
Amar Desh Acting Editor Mahmudur Rahman presided over the meeting. Dhaka University former Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Emajuddin Ahmed, Gono Shaistho Kendro Trusty Dr. Zafrullah Chowdhury, BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, Vice-Chairmen Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain, Selima Rahman and Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi were present, among others.
