KOLKATA, Dec 3: The Trinamool Congress (TMC) government of West Bengal has decided to withdraw his objection to the land-swapping deal between India and Bangladesh, according to a report on www.oneindia.com.
According to a report published in leading Bengali daily Anandabazaar Patrika Wednesday, Chief Secretary Sanjay Mitra informed the home ministry last week that the state government wants to settle the enclave issue which is being dragged for over six decades now.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee might announce the new stand of her government at a rally in Cooch Behar Thursday.
The venue of the chief minister's rally is very close to the Bangladeshi enclave, which suggests that the reports about her making a big announcement tomorrow could be true.
