Any issue, does not matter how damaging or devastating it appears as, if it has any connection with India our brothers and sisters who follows Awami League politics never utter a word. Banglar shadhinota, sovereignty find a dubious philosophy with them. They have indeed sold their soul to party politics and surrendered their freedom to the devil himself. Poor Bangladesh.

Asian Highway, Tipaimukh Dam to jeopardise sovereignty
Speakers at a roundtable yesterday said that the government wanted to implement the conspiracy of India against the country by allowing the transit and corridor for India in the name of Asian Highway Network and not protesting the construction of Tipaimukh Dam on Borak River at the upper reaches of Surma and Kushiara Rivers.
They called upon the government not to sign the agreement of Asian Highway Network to be connected with AH-1 and AH-2 of Asian Highway route saying that if the government signs the agreement AH-41 avoiding AH-1 and AH-2, the people of the country would not oppose.
Organised by Swadhinata Forum the roundtable on 'Proposed Asian Highway: Responsibility of Bangladesh' was held at the National press Club in the city.
President of the Forum Abu Naser Moshammad Rahmatullah presided over the roundtable while it was addressed among others by BNP leaders and former ministers Dr Khandaker Moharraf Hossain and ASM Hannan Shah, former vice chancellor of Dhaka University Prof Dr Emaj Uddin Ahmed, former adviser to caretaker government Maj Gen (Retd) Ruhul Alam Chowdhury, former Director General of BDR Maj Gen (Retd) ALM Fazlur Rhaman, Journalist Mubaidur Rahman, President of Jatiya Gonotantrik Party Shafiul Alam Prodhan, President of National People's Party (NPP) Sheikh Shawkat Hossain Nilu and General Secretary of Islami Oikkya Jote Moulana Abdul Latif Nejami.
Khandaker Mosharraf said if Bangladesh were connected with Asian Highway route, it would be a threat to the sovereignty of the country.
ASM Hannan Shah called upon the government not to take AH-1 and AH-2 in the interest of the country saying that when the two routes would be completed, India would continue aggression on the country. If it is needed to sign the agreement, the government should hold the referendum, he added.
Prof Emaj Uddin said exactly corridor is being allowed in the name of AH-1 and AH-2 to be connected with Asian Highway route and Bangladesh should not accept the project to protect the country from the aggression of India.
The speakers said if Bangladesh would be connected with the routes, the country would be turned to a free market of Indian goods. It would bring immense losses for Bangladesh, they added.
They also said the country would be turned to battle place of Seven Sisters of India, which are conducting movement for liberation and the Indian central government wants to resist them by using the two routes.
