BNP isn’t anti-Indian: Fakhrul
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today claimed that his party is not “anti-Indian” one, but it is always vocal for safeguarding national interests.
"BNP does politics for protecting the rights and interests of the country and its people. Should we be branded as anti-Indians as we raise our voice for realising our justified rights from India? We're never against India and its people,” he said.
Fakhrul came up with the remarks while speaking at a discussion arranged by Muktijuddha and Ziaur Rahman Research Council at Dhaka Reporters' Unity.
Pointing to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s recent India visit, Fakhrul said: "The current regime has put the country's existence at stake. We feel bad as we couldn't thank our prime minister on her return home from India as she came empty-handed.”
He urged the government to raise the issue of ensuring fair share of water of 58 common rivers with India, including Teesta, at the United Nations (UN).
