Modi touts LBA issue as fall of Berlin Wall
Sunday, 31 May 2015
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has lamented that the media has not realised the importance of solution to the land boundary issue with Bangladesh, reports bdnews24.com.
"Had this been elsewhere in the world this would have been cited as an example as big as the fall of the Berlin Wall," an Indian newspaper on Saturday quoted him as saying.
Modi made the comment while replying to a question on his upcoming Bangladesh visit on June 6 in an interview with the Indian newspaper, The Tribune.
Ahead of the visit the long pending land boundary issue was settled. But it is uncertain whether the contentious Teesta water sharing treaty will be signed during his forthcoming visit.
"We have settled the long pending land boundary issues with Bangladesh by taking all parties into confidence. The media has not realised this was a massive achievement and is talking of other issues," he told the newspaper.
