BNP wants good ties with India

BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Thursday said BNP wants a good relation with India based on equality and mutual respect to resolve the disputes with the neighbouring country. “The person who is now the Prime Minister has said there is no use of engaging in a quarrel with a big country like India…We also don’t want to lock into any quarrel with the country. We want good ties with it based on equality and mutual respect,” he said. The BNP spokesman was addressing a discussion titled ‘Moulana Bhashani and the Historic Farakka Long March’ arranged by Bhashani Smriti Parishad at the Jatiya Press Club. He alleged that the much-hyped Teesta deal could not be signed due to the ruling party’s knee-jerk foreign policy, according to a news agency.
