Sonia's tour and border killing
The arrival of India's Congress party president Sonia Gandhi in Bangladesh was an auspicious sign for bilateral relationship between the two neighbouring countries. She attended a conference on autistic and disabled children as chief guest and also received “Bangladesh Freedom Honour" award from the government on behalf of her late mother-in-law Indira Gandhi. I hope that this visit will play a significant role in boosting our political and economic relation with India. But it is regretful that Indian border security force BSF has killed one Bangladeshi on the day of her arrival. Any problem can be solved through negotiation. I urge the authorities concerned to reach an agreement and implement that properly so that no such border killing occurs in future.
