Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said India’s
relationship with its neighbouring countries is not going well now as the country always adopted
dominance politics with its neighbours.
He said this while talking to journalists after offering ziarat at BNP Founder and Martyred President Ziaur
Rahman’s mazar at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in the capital marking the 46th founding anniversary of
Jatiyatabadi Mohila Dal.
BNP Standing Committee Members Begum Selima Rahman and Dr AZM Zahid Hossain, Mohila Dal
President Afroza Abbas and General Secretary Sultana Ahmed and leaders and workers of the
organizations were present on the occasion.
Replying to a question Mirza Fakhrul said: "India’s relationship with its neighbouring countries is not
going so well. The main reason is as I see India's continuous dominance politics with its neighbouring
countries”.
This approach will not bring good results to India or its neighbouring countries, he added.
The BNP Secretary General said relationships should be built on respect, dignity, and mutual interests.
Replying to another question, he said BNP have already met members of the advisory council including
the Chief Adviser twice.
Every occasion, BNP urged the government to present its reform plans before the people, he said.
Besides, the party urged the government to hold elections within a logical timeframe to handover the
power to people.
He said the country has been freed from fascism through the movement of student-people after 16
years.
Numerous people including women and children embraced martyrdom in the revolution, said Mirza
Fakhrul.
The BNP secretary general urged Jatiyatabadi Mohila Dal to continue its movement for upholding the
independence achieved in the movement and establishing democracy.
