Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said her government will not allow India to construct the proposed Tipaimukh dam if it is proved that the dam will have negative impact on Bangladesh.
“We won't allow India to construct the dam if it adversely impacts on Bangladesh,” she told a rally organised by the Awami League-led 14-party grand alliance at Govt Madrasa ground in the city.
The government has already told India to include Bangladeshi representatives in a feasibility study group to look whether it would adversely affect Bangladesh, she mentioned. “India has assured us that they won't do anything harmful for Bangladesh.”
Listing the development activities of the present government, Hasina said her government has settled the border demarcation issue with India and also established the country's right over its maritime boundary with Myanmar through an international court. “If we're voted to power in the next elections, I can assure you we'll uphold our rights with India.”
She told her audience that those who can take money from the defeated forces of the Liberation War cannot believe in the country's independence and sovereignty.
She blasted the previous five-year BNP-Jamaat rule. “They gave people just terrorism through bombings, grenade attacks and killings.”
The BNP had killed a good number of AL leaders and activists by carrying out grenade attacks in different areas of the country during that period, she complained.
In the last three years, she claimed, the present government has curbed terrorism and militancy in the country.
“It was a shame for the whole nation when the prime minister and the finance minister of the then BNP-Jamaat alliance government whitened their black money,” maintained Hasina.
The premier said the BNP leader's sons had indulged in money laundering and it was proved in various courts in the USA, Singapore and Canada.
She noted that the country's economy now has got a strong footing as the government has put it back on the right track.
She also announced that there will be engineering and medical universities in Sylhet if her party wins the next general elections.
Earlier in the day, the prime minister laid the foundation stone of Shahjalal Fertiliser Factory in Fenchuganj, inaugurated the commissioning of the second unit of 90MW Fenchuganj power plant and 150MW power plant at Kumargaon.
She also inaugurated the Nagar Bhaban on the premises of Sylhet City Corporation, divisional passport and visa office, and laid the foundation stone of Sylhet Education Board.
She offered fateha at the mazars of Hazrat Shahjalal (RA) and Hazrat Shah Paran (RA).
