Khosru: Modi government to change its policy on Bangladesh

He said people have no confidence in the government and the popularity of the government has been declining day by day

Criticising the outgoing Indian Congress government for supporting the Awami League government, BNP Chairperson’s Adviser Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury yesterday said a democratic country like India cannot adopt such a strategy.

“A section of Congress leaders supported an unelected government in Bangladesh. A democratic country like India cannot take such a policy towards its neighbouring country,” he said at a discussion at the National Press Club in the capital.

Narendra Modi had assumed office with a huge mandate of the people through a free and fair election. “We hope if the Indian government believes in democracy, the new government would deviate from the previous government’s stance.”

Branding the Awami League government illegal, the BNP leader said people would not accept their budget proposal. “The government has taken office illegally. They have placed a ‘so-called’ budget in the parliament. We are rejecting this illegal budget.”

He said people have no confidence in the government and the popularity of the government has been declining day by day.

The former minister called upon the party leaders and activists to get prepared to wage movement to oust the government from power.

“Tough time is ahead. Everyone has to be ready for sacrifice. We have to give up the thought that someone will save us or who has been elected in India.”
