No drinking water, food for flood-hit people: BNP

Staff Correspondent
The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) yesterday expressed deep concern and resentment over not distributing relief materials among the flood-hit people of Satkhira district. “Tens of thousands of people are living in inhuman condition under the open sky without food and drinking water. But government is busy in making their foreign masters happy,” Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, acting secretary general of the party, said in a statement. He said country is continuously suffering from deluge and drought since India had unilaterally withdrew water from the common rivers. Government sacrifices the interest of the country by not ensuring just share of river waters. The BNP leader urged the party leaders and workers to stand by the flood-affected people.
