No Teesta pact is AL govts failure: BNP
The BNP considers no agreement on Teesta water sharing with India as the failure of the Awami League-led government.
It is certainly a failure of the government as no deal was signed on Teesta water sharing during Modis visit. The whole nation is disappointed, said BNP international affairs secretary, Dr Asaduzzaman Ripon.
Addressing a press briefing at the partys headquarters at Naya Paltan in the city yesterday (Tuesday), he said many deals were signed during Modis visit, but people are not aware about their full contents.
The dispute over sharing of Teesta waters remained unsettled during the first-ever visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi what has been dubbed as the dawn of a new era.
A total of 22 deals were inked during the visit, which included the historic land boundary agreement that India waited over three decades to resolve.
We, as well as the countrys people, want to know details of those deals, Ripon said.
In response to questions on whether moving Modi with complaints regarding democracy in the country was justified, Ripon said the BNP believed it will be of no major harm.
We know the government has signed a number of deals with India, but we, as well as countrys people, do not know about their contents. We hope that the government will disclose the contents of the deals, he said.
Replying to a question, the BNP spokesperson said they do not like interference of other countries in the internal affairs of Bangladesh.
