Bangladesh: Opposition demands cancellation of pacts signed with India

Accusing the Bangladesh government of violating the Constitution by signing "anti-state" bilateral documents with India, the Opposition party, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) on Sunday demanded the annulment of the deals Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina signed on Saturday.
Speaking at a press conference at BNP's Nayapaltan central office, party senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi demanded that the Bangladesh prime minister step down for breaching her constitutional oath by signing 'unilateral' documents with India to protect her own interests and sacrificing the national ones.
"We strongly denounce and protest the anti-sate deals, including the withdrawal of water from the Feni River by India. We demand the immediate cancellation of those documents," he said.
The BNP leader further said, "We want to say the signing of bilateral documents, allowing India to use Chattogram and Mongla ports, withdraw water from the Feni River, import bulk LPG from Bangladesh for its north-eastern states is a clear violation of the Constitution. It's also tantamount to treason."
Rizvi said Sheikh Hasina has lost all the constitutional rights to remain in the post of the prime minister by signing the documents with India as she only protected the interests of the neighboring country.
On Saturday, Bangladesh and India signed seven bilateral documents after a bilateral meeting between Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi at Hyderabad House in New Delhi.
Rizvi claimed there has been a serious resentment in public, following the signing of the 'anti-state' documents with India by the prime minister.
