BNP Secretary Common Mirza Fakhrul stated that Sheikh Hasina’s newest go to to Delhi was nearly one-sided. The settlement or settlement signed on this go to doesn’t make sure the minimal curiosity of Bangladesh. Furthermore, some points have come up within the dialogue by which the sovereignty of Bangladesh has been questioned. The ten MoUs signed by the Prime Minister throughout his go to to India are only a new model of slavery.
He stated this stuff at a press convention on the BNP Chairperson’s political workplace in Gulshan on Sunday (June 30) afternoon.
Mirza Fakhrul stated that what has been completed within the title of connectivity inside Bangladesh by offering corridors within the title of rail communication from one a part of India to a different, will severely threaten our sovereignty and nationwide safety. Absolutely keep in mind the 25-year slavery settlement signed with India in 1972. After 52 years, the agreements made beneath the guise of settlement with India on June 22 will make Bangladesh a slave of India for all times. Consequently, the nationwide safety of Bangladesh is threatened. By way of these MoUs, the difficulty of protection and nationwide safety of our nation has develop into a part of India’s nationwide protection and safety, which may be very harmful and a risk to the independence of the nation. It’s towards the precept of peaceable coexistence and non-alignment.
By way of these agreements, Sheikh Hasina desires to offer Bangladesh a chance to make use of India as a safety strategic ‘buffer state’ in regional geopolitics. Virtually all the 7 newly signed MoUs are centered on the northern a part of the nation. We imagine that these compromises are a part of a far-reaching grasp plan to bypass the strategically necessary ‘rooster neck’ and use Bangladesh territory for transporting India’s navy and civilian items when wanted.
BNP Secretary Common stated that Sheikh Hasina has indulged within the heinous conspiracy of enslaving Bangladesh within the deep entice of India’s slavery settlement in the long run by undermining the independence and sovereignty of Bangladesh. Folks won’t settle for such an settlement towards nationwide curiosity.
The present ruling group claims that Bangladesh-India relations have reached ‘distinctive heights’ within the final decade and a half. However in the course of the so-called ‘golden chapter’ of the connection, Mirza Fakhrul commented that the advantages obtained by the folks of Bangladesh have been zero and stated that in this era, the principle a part of the transactions between the 2 international locations included the availability of transit and hall amenities to India one after the opposite within the title of connectivity. Regardless of the politico-economic and strategic dangers of granting transit-corridors, the whole lot has been completed unilaterally. By way of this no significance has been given to the pursuits of Bangladesh.
Fakhrul stated, on the one hand, India has received free land and sea transit, which has diminished the time and size of communication between the Seven Sisters of Northeast India with the remainder of India by not less than three quarters. The space of 1700 km from Kolkata to Agartala has diminished to 350 km. India has received entry to Payra, Mongla and Chittagong ports of Bangladesh.
Alternatively, Bangladesh couldn’t get Nepal’s transit facility of solely 21 to 22 km from India. One-sided aggressive commerce has made Bangladesh a free commerce hub for India. Bangladesh’s share is just two billion within the whole annual commerce of two international locations of 26 billion. There may be Shubhankar’s evasion on this too. Hundreds of thousands of Indian youth are working in Bangladesh the place unemployment is excessive. Bangladesh ranks 4th within the checklist of India’s principal sources of remittances. Not too long ago, the Finance Minister informed the Parliament that Indians have taken 50.60 million {dollars} within the final 10 months. As we all know, past this, hundreds of thousands of {dollars} are being taken illegally.
He stated that the present illegitimate authorities of Bangladesh has develop into virtually unable to undertake and implement international coverage independently. They attempt to acquire the fixed belief of native and international allies or masters to proceed their occupation of energy by subverting the pursuits of the state.
“Dhaka and Delhi have began a brand new journey, each international locations have determined the longer term plan of action to make sure a sensible Bangladesh following Imaginative and prescient 2041 and Developed India 2047” – Sheikh Hasina’s speech revealed the true nature of her go to to India. BNP believes that the countrymen additionally perceive deeply. I demand that each one agreements signed with India, together with this go to, be made public instantly. We wish to reiterate that the folks won’t ever settle for these agreements towards sovereignty, nationwide curiosity and nationwide safety. BNP is rejecting these anti-national agreements/compromises.
Lastly, by way of you, I want to point out as soon as once more earlier than your entire countrymen that the present unlawful authorities of Sheikh Hasina is an unelected authorities. They don’t have the least ethical proper to manipulate the state. And any state settlement with an unethical authorities with out such a public mandate – be it compromise or by some other title – quantities to dishonest the 18 crore folks of Bangladesh. On this period of globalization and free market economic system, BNP’s place is to keep up good relations with all pleasant international locations, to create connectivity in numerous methods to extend numerous partnerships together with commerce.
