Sunday, 28 December 2008
Some 402 Dhaka University (DU) teachers Saturday denounced the intrusion of Indian survey ships into Bangladesh waters and their forceful stay over there, reports UNB.
"Despite requests by the Bangladesh Navy to leave the Bangladesh waters, the survey ships continued their exploratory activities in the maritime area. Such activities violating the rules put Bangladesh's safety and sovereignty at risk," the teachers said in a joint statement.
The DU teachers also requested the Indian ships to leave the Bangladesh waters to maintain a good neighbourly relation, the statement added.
The signatories to the statement include Prof Dr Sadrul Amin, Prof Dr Aminur Rahman Majumder, Prof Dr Sirajul Islam, Prof Dr Akhter Hossain Khan and Prof Dr Mozammel Haq.
