Dhaka: Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has demanded cancellation of agreements signed with India over the past 15 years under deposed PM Sheikh Hasina‘s govt, describing them as “secret” and “unjust”
“I urge the interim govt to revoke all secret and unjust deals signed by Sheikh Hasina with India by compromising Bangladesh’s independence and sovereignty,” BNP joint secretary Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said Saturday.
The position seems at odds with that of foreign affairs adviser Md Touhid Hossain, who had said recently the interim administration was not abandoning any agreement with any country as they were commitments made by Bangladesh. BNP’s Rizvi also questioned why India ignored the “oppression” Sheikh Hasina inflicted on the people of Bangladesh.
