BNP Government of Bangladesh reviews 101 pacts signed with India
Dhaka is reviewing one hundred and one agreements signed with New Delhi. Bureaucrats trained in India over the past decade may face scrutiny. The ruling party alleges past governments compromised national interests with a friendly nation. Goods-laden vehicles from that country were reportedly allowed free road use.
The ruling Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) government in Dhaka is set to review 101 agreements signed with India, according to ruling party Parliament chief whip Nurul Islam Moni. The review includes infrastructure sector pacts and will scrutinize bureaucrats trained in India, Moni stated during a press conference at the Parliament Media Centre on Friday.
Moni accused the former Awami League government of prioritizing a "friendly country," without mentioning India, suggesting that Bangladesh's ships were often unloaded at Chittagong Port before those from the friendly nation. In 2015, Bangladesh and India signed an MoU to facilitate smoother access to India's landlocked northeastern states.
Additionally, Bangladesh's state minister for foreign affairs, Humayun Kabir, commented that the nation needed to move beyond its fascination with India, sparking a discussion on the matter.
