India also gets to exploit Bangladesh based on its technological projects.
Prime Ministers Sheikh Hasina today reposed full faith in the leadership of her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in resolving the pending major issues, including the Teesta river water-sharing deal, between the two countries.
Ms Banerjee has sat on the issue and been changing goalposts for six years, with Bangladesh hostage to its neighbour's domestic politics as a State government refuses to play ball with the Centre. It is ordinary Bangladeshis who are bearing the brunt of this impasse.
Bangladesh shares 54 of its 57 transboundary rivers with India. Bangladesh experiences severe water crisis in the dry and lean season in most of the shared river basins due to upstream intervention by India, which impedes the livelihood options of the river dependent communities of the country.
Indian President Pranab Mukherjee is expected to take an initiative to break the ice for resolving the long pending water sharing issue during the upcoming visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to New Delhi on April 7-10.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today said that without the Teesta water sharing deal, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s India visit will be meaningless.
The much needed Teesta water deal will not be inked during Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s upcoming India visit, Water Resources Minister Anisul Islam Mahmud says.
