Nothing to be overenthusiastic, Tofail tells BNP

Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed on Saturday said Bangladesh's friendly relations with India would remain unhurt with the change of government in New Delhi. “It’s of no use to be overenthusiastic by BNP as it is a government-to-government and country-to-country relation. You (BNP) seem to be very happy. There’s nothing to be so delighted. The relation (with AL) will remain unchanged," he said. Tofail was speaking at a political discussion in the city sitting next to BNP standing committee member Barrister Moudud Ahmed. The Commerce Minister suggested BNP to wait with patience for the next national election. "Let's wait. The next election will be held on time and peacefully," a smiling Tofail said, according to a news agency.
