Delwar finds no result from PM's India visit
Wednesday, 13 January 2010
BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain claimed Tuesday that Bangladesh so far had not gained anything through the ongoing India visit of Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina.
It is also not being said that people of Bangladesh has been benefited in anyway from the visit, he told a protest rally in front of BNP central office at Nayapaltan organised by the party in observance of 1/11 as 'Black Day', reports UNB.
Criticising the extradition agreement with India, Mr Delwar said there is no necessity of any extradition agreement as the present government already handed over some detained people to India without such an accord.
Referring to the reported remarks of Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, he said it could be understood from the statement of the Indian finance minister that the present Awami League government "is working for the satisfaction of India, but not working for the people of Bangladesh."
The BNP secretary general said it is possible to solve the country's electricity problem by producing electricity using the country's resources but the task is being given to India.
"Bangladesh is being made the market of Indian electricity… whatever India is doing is for its own benefit, it does not benefit Bangladesh."
He said interest of the people would be harmed if the present government stays in power. "Already the government has become isolated from the people."
Mr Delwar said the country has fallen in such a situation that there is no time to sit idle.
The government's illegal acts will have to be resisted along with the people under the leadership of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, he added.
