Opposing India capital of BNP-Jamaat politics, says Menon

Workers Party of Bangladesh president and former minister Rashed Khan Menon on Sunday said that he did not see anything goes against the interests of Bangladesh in the agreements recently signed with the Indian government.

Mentioning the Tripura State of India had given shelter to Bangladeshi people, who were more than its total population, during the War of Independence in 1971, Menon questioned that how the interest of Bangladesh is hurt through giving a small volume of water to only 8,000 residents of the Tripura?

‘Opposing India and doing politics with religious is the capital of the BNP-Jamaat alliance. But, the people of bangladesh never have accepted it,’ he claimed.  

The Workers Party president came up with the observation while addressing the inaugural session of the party’s Sylhet district unit council at Sylhet Zila Parishad auditorium in the evening.

He said that Bangladesh Nationalist Party had completed all kinds of measures to export natural gas to India during its regime, but their attempt could not be success because of the rigid stance against it taken by the national committee and present prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

‘Bangladesh agreed this time to export not the natural gas but processed liquefied gas imported from other countries,’ Menon claimed.

Menon alleged that after being failure to develop movement in all of the issues, BNP is trying now to use the murder incident of BUET student Abrar as an agenda.

The Workers Party district general secretary Sikandar Ali chaired the programme that was addressed, among others, by its polite bureau member and International University former vice-chancellor Sushanta Kumar Dash, presidium member Deenabandhu Pal and Ibrahim Miah and Ganatantri Party district president Arif Miah.
