Jatiya Mukti Council held a rally on Friday in Dhaka to protest against the agreement signed between Bangladesh and India, which provide rail corridor facilities to India through Bangladesh, allegedly jeopardising the country鈥檚 national security.
Speakers at the rally, held in front of the National Press Club and chaired by Mukti Council president Faizul Hakim, criticized the recent deals signed in New Delhi.
The leaders of the council claimed that the government was compromising national security by granting India 鈥榗orridor鈥� facilities, according to a press release.
鈥榃hat is the problem if we give transit to India?鈥�, prime minister Sheikh Hasina asked at a press conference after returning from India about the transit facilities.
Mentioning the PM鈥檚 question, Faizul Hakim criticised the agreement, stating that the control and management of these trains would be entirely in India鈥檚 hands, and Bangladesh would not have the right to know what was being transported on these trains.
He further mentioned that Indian border guards often killed Bangladeshi citizens by shooting at the border, but the government did not protest against these actions.
He added that the Hasina government had decided to manage the border with the BSF then.
