India must implement water sharing agreement
The people of Bangladesh became disappointed after learning that the much anticipated agreement on sharing Teesta and Feni waters was not going to be signed.
It has been abandoned due to the objection of Paschimbanga Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who in the last moment decided not to accompany Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Bangladesh. It is very unfortunate and embarrassing as it made millions of people unhappy in Bangladesh and has cast a shadow upon the relations of the two countries.
We have become very disappointed with our Foreign Minister Dipu Moni, for until the last minute she was assuring us that Teesta deal will be signed. and we were feeling hopeful. She has been proved wrong and it became clear how ill-informed she was. She should have known all the facts, it is unacceptable from a person holding such an important position.
The government should reshuffle the foreign ministry, appoint someone who has got all the qualities a minister of foreign affairs should have.
