Professor Anu Muhammad today urged the interim government to reveal the details of all treaties signed in the energy and power sectors during the Awami League government.

He also urged the government to cancel the treaties that go against the national interest.

The Sheikh Hasina-led government completely surrendered to India while setting the terms and conditions of those treaties, Prof Anu Mohammad said while speaking at a seminar titled, "Indian Hegemony on Bangladesh: Nature and What to Do" at the Jatiya Press Club here today.

"Sheikh Hasina signed those anti-state agreements with India as she grabbed on to power without any election with India's support," he said.

Anu Mohammad demanded that the interim government should make public all military and civil agreements with India and other countries.

He said the problem between the neighbours is not religion-based, rather the problem exists in the Indian expansionist attitude.

He urged the interim government to pay attention to this specific issue.

Recalling India's support to Liberation War, Anu Mohammad said India stood by Bangladesh in 1971 for strategic reasons, nothing else.

He said Dhaka should revaluate the energy treaties signed with India and find out the ways to scrap those.

"If the agreements are cancelled, there might be some losses, but if we continue to keep it, the losses will be greater," he said, adding that there was no headway over the discussion on water-sharing of common rivers with India in the last 53 years.

Anu Mohammad said India has not signed the UN Water Convention. But Bangladesh should join the convention on a priority basis, he said.

Apart from this, he said Bangladesh should move the International Court of Justice on border and transit issues.

He also criticised the Rooppur nuclear power project.

"It is not a glory but a big financial burden for Bangladesh," he said, adding that more than one crore people would be affected by the nuclear waste of the project.

Prof Tanjim Uddin Khan of Dhaka University said India, by giving shelter to elements of the ousted regime, is trying to destabilise Bangladesh.

He called upon everyone to work together to bring Bangladesh out of the Indian political dominance.

Dhaka University Professor Morsheda Sultana and Jahangirnagar University teacher Maha Mirza, among others, also took part in the discussion.
