Indians' attitude revealed: Fakhrul
Referring to a former Indian minister's proposal to grab Bangladeshi land, BNP acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday said it helps to understand the attitude of some Indian politicians about Bangladesh.
“The country is now in deep crisis. Independence and sovereignty is under threat. But our government is busy to solve India's problem instead of Bangladesh. Students have to come forward to protect the country,” he said at a meeting of representatives of Dhaka city (south) unit Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal at a city hotel.
In an article published by an Indian newspaper, former Indian cabinet minister and Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy suggested annex land from Bangladesh in proportion to its illegal migrants staying in India.
Earlier in the morning, Fakhrul joined a human chain programme organised by BNP, Lalbagh unit, in front of Jatiya Press Club demanding release of the party's former lawmaker Nasiruddin Pintu.
While addressing the programme, he said the government has re-established 'one-party Baksal rule' in the country under a new wrapping.
Meanwhile, Fakhrul addressed a discussion organised by Zia Smriti Sangsad to mark the Martyred Intellectuals' Day at the same venue.
He said, "The independence is now being destroyed due to the activities of the present government. We have to protect it under the leadership of Khaleda Zia.”
