43 years of our Constitution

The Constitution of Bangladesh had undergone over the last forty three years massive alterations, manipulations and amendments. Yet, proving its inner strength and sustainability, our Constitution stood the test of time.

India's inter-linking of river project is devoid of legal basis

It appears from recent newspaper reportings in India and Bangladesh that India has not deviated from her decades old plan of massive inter-linking of river plan to divert substantial amount of water from Brahmaputra to her South West region. It is learnt that our Ministry of Water Resources has asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact the Indian Government to know her position and also to let India know our position on the issue. We are yet to know whether such communication has at all taken place, and what is the outcome of any communication if it has taken place.
