The prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, on Wednesday reiterated her government’s tough stance against terrorism and militancy as she said Bangladesh would not allow its land to be used for terrorist activities against neighbouring India.
‘We would never allow our land to be used for terrorist activities against India,’ she said, referring to the coordinated border management plan signed between the two countries in July last year.
She made the comments when Tripura governor Dnyandeo Yashwantrao Patil and chief minister Manik Sarkar called on her at the state guesthouse in Agartala Wednesday evening.
After the separate meetings, the PM’s press secretary Abul Kalam Azad briefed reporters.
The prime minister put emphasis on border cooperation between Bangladesh and India to stop smuggling of arms, drugs and fake currencies as well as trafficking in women and children.
She also stressed the need for quick implementation of Akhaura-Agartala rail link and bridge over the Feni river side by side with strengthening ties with Tripura and other northeastern Indian states. Sheikh Hasina expressed her interest in initiating discussion on inter-grid connectivity to purchase 250-MW electricity from Palatana power plant in Tripura.
The prime minister thanked the Tripura government for setting up Muktijuddha Park and a bust of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as well as giving shelter to nearly 1.6 million Bangladeshi refugees during the War of Liberation in 1971.
Besides, Indian union minister for human resources development Kapil Sibal also called on the prime minister.
During the meeting, they discussed issues relating to economy, the present status of negotiations on Teesta agreement, Tipaimukh Dam and river training.
