Mistrust about India among BD people growing: Experts

Experts at a seminar in Dhaka on Monday observed that mistrust about India among Bangladeshis is growing as various important bilateral issues, especially the Teesta water sharing deal and ratification of Land Boundary Agreement (LBA) between the two neighbouring countries, have long been remained unsolved. They said both sides, especially India, should come up to immediately address the issues, including stopping killings by BSF along the border, to remove the mistrust and anti-Indian sentiment. Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS) arranged the international seminar, titled ‘Contemporary Thoughts on Bangladesh-India Relations: Challenges and Opportunities’, in the city. Experts from both Bangladesh and India took part in the day-long seminar held at BIISS auditorium, according to a news agency.
