Sheikh Hasina Zia-Ershad-Khaleda never thought about border pact implementation: Sheikh Hasina
Dhaka, November 08, 2020: BNP founder Ziaur Rahman, Jatiya Party founder chairman Hussain Mohammad Ershad and BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia never took any initiative to implement the border agreement when they were in power.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made the remarks at the inauguration ceremony of two MI-71E helicopters procured for the BGB Air Wing on Sunday (November 8th). During the inauguration of the Air Wing, the Prime Minister announced BGB as a three-dimensional force.
Sheikh Hasina said the land boundary agreement was signed by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib in 1974. He also passed the law. But India has not yet. After seventy-five years, Ziaur Rahman, Ershad or Khaleda Zia, whoever came to power, never took the initiative to implement our border agreement or demarcate the border. "I have taken the initiative since I first came here and all the parties in the Indian Parliament have passed it together," he said. Now our borders have been pointed out precisely. We are now taking appropriate measures to protect our borders.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also said that surveillance on Bangladesh's unprotected border with India and Myanmar has been intensified.
