Accords with India hit at the base of Bangladesh
Speakers at a discussion yesterday alleged that accords with India signed during the recent visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina hit the base of independence and sovereignty of the country.
Addressing the discussion on 'Prime Minister's India Visit: Evaluation', organised by Sammilito Peshajibi Parishad at the Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh (IEDB), they said India signed the deals, which go against the interest of the country, to use Bangladesh to control its north-eastern region people who were fighting for independence and also to contain China. These accords must have to be withdrawn; otherwise people will resist the implementation of them.
Engineer Mahmudur Rahman, convener of the parishad, presided over the programme which was addressed, among others, by Prof Dr Emajuddin Ahmed, Columnist Farhad Mazhar, former pro VC of DU AFM Yusuf Haider, Barrister Aminul Haque, former IEB president Engineer ANH Akhter Hossain, Press Club president Shaukat Mahmood, Journalist Ruhul Amin Gazi and MA Aziz, Agriculturist Anwar-un-Nabi Majumder, DU prof Dr Aminur Rahman Majumder, Principal Selim Bhuyan and Engineer Harun-Or-Rashid. Dr AZM Zahid Hossain, Member Secretary of the parishad, moderated the function.
Dr Emajuddin Ahmed who addressed as chief guest, said that Bangladesh was forced to enter into the security block of India through the security deals with India. He said, these accords could hamper the internal security of Bangladesh.He was sharply critical of the prime minister for giving advance support to India for UN Security Council.
Terming the accords as security and military treaty Farhad Mazhar said, India signed the deals, which go against the interest of the country, to use Bangladesh to control its north-eastern region people who were fighting for independence. He said, Bangladesh would not be able to present its any crisis at international forum if India became the member of UN Security Council. But it is regretting matter that the prime minister had already expressed her support to India, he said. Farhad Mazhar alleged that India wants to make Bangladesh as its battle field changing its military plan in the context of Maoist upcharge, Muslim-Maoist relation and independence movement of north-eastern region.
Mahmudur Rahman said, the accords are nothing but the extension of the treaty of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on May 26, 1974 which hit at the base of the country's independence and sovereignty. Earlier, Shukat Mahmood in his keynote paper said 'we want to connect with the globe including India but not sacrificing our sovereignty and independence'.
