পাকিস্তানকে একঘরে করার কুটনৈতিক লড়াইয়ে ভারতের পাশে থাকার বিনিময়ে তিস্তা চুক্তি রূপায়ণে আরও একটু গতি চাইছে ঢাকা।

বাংলাদেশ সরকারের এক শীর্ষ কর্তার কথায়, ঘরোয়া রাজনীতিতে ভারতের সঙ্গে তিস্তা জলবণ্টনের বোঝাপড়া চূড়ান্ত করার বিষয়টি বিশেষ গুরুত্বপূর্ণ। এমনকী, প্রধানমন্ত্রী শেখ হাসিনার মুকুটে তিস্তা চুক্তি রূপায়ণ সাফল্যের অন্যতম সেরা পালক হতে পারে। কারণ, তিস্তার বাড়তি জল পেলে উত্তর বাংলাদেশের বিস্তীর্ণ অঞ্চলে বাৎসরিক দুর্ভিক্ষ পরিস্থিতির অবসান হয়ে জনজীবনই বদলে যাবে। অক্টোবরে গোয়ায় বিমস্টেক সম্মেলনের যোগ দিতে এসে নরেন্দ্র মোদীর সঙ্গে দ্বিপাক্ষিক বৈঠকে তাই তিস্তা চুক্তির বিষয়টি বিশেষ গুরুত্ব দিতে চাইছেন শেখ হাসিনা।

দিল্লির কাঁধে কাঁধ মিলিয়ে দু’দিন আগেই নভেম্বরে পাকিস্তানের সার্ক শীর্ষবৈঠক বয়কটের ঘোষণা করেছে বাংলাদেশের শেখ হাসিনা সরকার। বুধবার গভীর রাতে ভারতীয় কম্যান্ডোরা পাক অধিকৃত কাশ্মীরে ঢুকে জঙ্গি ঘাঁটি ধ্বংসের পরেও তাকে সমর্থন জানাল ঢাকা। বাংলাদেশের প্রধানমন্ত্রীর মিডিয়া উপদেষ্টা ইকবাল সোবহান চৌধুরী এ দিন বলেন, ‘‘আক্রান্ত হওয়ার পর প্রত্যাঘাতের অধিকার সকলের রয়েছে। নিয়ন্ত্রণ রেখা পেরিয়ে জঙ্গিঘাঁটি ধ্বংস করে ভারত কোনও অন্যায় করেনি।’’

শেখ হাসিনার উপদেষ্টা জানান, বিষয়টা এমন নয় যে দিল্লির চাপে সার্ক বয়কটের ঘোষণা করেছে ঢাকা। একাত্তরের যুদ্ধাপরাধীদের বিচার ও শাস্তি দেওয়ার বিরুদ্ধে পাকিস্তান যে ভূমিকা নিয়েছে, তার পরে হাসিনা ইসলামাবাদে গেলে দেশের মানুষ প্রশ্ন তুলতে পারতেন। প্রধানমন্ত্রীর দফতর সূত্রের খবর, সার্কে না-যাওয়ার সিদ্ধান্তটি এক রকম হয়েই ছিল। কিন্তু সার্ক ভেস্তে যাওয়ার দায় কাঁধে চেপে যেতে পারে বিবেচনা করে পরিস্থিতির ওপর নজর রাখার সিদ্ধান্ত হয়। এর পরে মঙ্গলবার দিল্লি থেকে হাইকমিশনার সৈয়দ মুয়াজ্জেম আলি যখনই জানান— নরেন্দ্র মোদী ইসলামাবাদ যাচ্ছেন না, বাংলাদেশের বিদেশ মন্ত্রকও সার্কের সদর দফতরে সম্মেলন বয়কটের কথা জানিয়ে দেয়।

বাংলাদেশের তথ্যমন্ত্রী হাসানুল হক ইনু বলেন, ‘‘শুধু ভারত তো নয়, বাংলাদেশের জঙ্গিদেরও সরাসরি মদত দেয় পাক গুপ্তচর সংগঠন আইএসআই। ঢাকায় দূতাবাসে বসে পাকিস্তানি কূটনীতিকরা জঙ্গিদের সঙ্গে যোগাযোগ রাখছে— এ বিষয়ে বার বার ইসলামাবাদকে তথ্য-প্রমাণ দেওয়া হয়েছে। কিন্তু তার পরেও সেটা চলেছে।’’ তিনি জানান, পাকিস্তানের বিরুদ্ধে কূটনৈতিক লড়াইয়ে বাংলাদেশ তাই ভারতের পাশেই রয়েছে।

ঢাকার এক শীর্ষ কূটনীতিকের কথায়, তবে যে কোনও সম্পর্কই বিকশিত হয় দেওয়া-নেওয়ার ভিত্তিতে। বাংলাদেশও তাই দিল্লির পাশে দাঁড়ানোর বিনিময়ে তিস্তা চুক্তির দ্রুত রূপায়ণ চায়। প্রাক্তন প্রধানমন্ত্রী মনমোহন সিংহ ঢাকা সফরে গিয়ে এ বিষয়ে প্রতিশ্রুতি দিয়ে এসেছিলেন। মোদীও বারে বারে জানিয়েছেন, এটা তাঁর বাধ্যবাধকতা, পশ্চিমবঙ্গ সরকারের সঙ্গে সহমত তৈরি করে এই চুক্তি রূপায়ণে তিনি সর্বতো ভাবে চেষ্টা করবেন। এর পরে বেসরকারি ভাবে কিছু কথাবার্তা দু’দেশের মধ্যে হলেও তার গতি খুবই স্লথ।

বিমস্টেক সম্মেলনে যোগ দিতে আগামী মাসে গোয়ায় আসছেন শেখ হাসিনা। ১৬ অক্টোবর সেখানে নরেন্দ্র মোদীর সঙ্গে তাঁর একান্ত বৈঠকের দিনক্ষণ স্থির হয়েছে। হাসিনার দফতর সূত্রের খবর, এই বৈঠকে আঞ্চলিক ও দ্বিপাক্ষিক নানা বিষয়েই তাঁদের কথা হবে। কিন্তু তিস্তা চুক্তির বিষয়টি বিশেষ গুরুত্ব দিয়ে উত্থাপন করবেন বাংলাদেশের প্রধানমন্ত্রী।



In exchange for support to speed up the Teesta Dhaka

Figure phaila.

Pakistan's support for the struggle to isolate diplomatic pact would speed up the implementation of a little more covered.

Bangladesh government's top masters in words, in domestic politics jalabantanera confrontation with India to finalize the Teesta issue is especially important. Even Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the crown of feathers may be one of the best of success in implementation of the pact. Because, if the excess water of the Teesta famine in large parts of the annual closure of the janajibanai will change. Narendra Modi arrived in Goa to attend the conference in October bimasteka bilateral meeting with the Prime Minister wants to give special attention to the issue of the Teesta agreement.

In November, two days before the Delhi stood shoulder to shoulder in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina said the government has announced a boycott of the SAARC sirsabaithaka. Wednesday night, after the destruction of militants into Indian-occupied Kashmir Comms the support and told him covered. The Prime Minister's Media Advisor Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury said the day, '' after being attacked has the right backfired. Jangighamti destroyed across the Line of Control by India did not have any evil. ''

Sheikh Hasina's adviser, said the pressure is not that New Delhi has announced a boycott of the Dhaka SAARC. Pakistan's role against the judgment of war criminals has, in Islamabad, then she would have to question the people of the country. Sources in the Prime Minister's Office, SAARC decided to do was remain the same. But may be considered by the SAARC spoiling the responsibility for the decision to keep an eye on the situation. Next Tuesday, when Delhi High Commissioner Syed Ali janana Narendra Modi Islamabad muyajjema not going to boycott the conference in the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed the SAARC.

The Inu said, "Not only are India, Bangladesh, Pakistan's spy organization, the ISI is backing jangiderao directly. Pakistani diplomats at the embassy in Dhaka on rakhache contact with militants repeatedly given evidence to Islamabad. But going beyond that. '' He said that Pakistan is next to India's diplomatic engagements Bangladesh.

A senior diplomat at the words, but no relationship is developed on the basis of give-and-take. Bangladesh Teesta treaty in exchange for the rapid implementation of the New Delhi wants to stand. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during a visit to Dhaka in this regard came with the promise. Modi said again and again, it is his obligation, the West Bengal government to agree with the implementation of the agreement, he will try to maximize the way. After the private conversation between the two countries, but its speed is some sloth.

She is coming next month to attend bimasteka Goa. There, in his private meeting with Narendra Modi on October 16 date had been set. Sources in the Prime Minister's office, will speak to them about this meeting various regional and bilateral. But with special emphasis on the Teesta deal will raise the country's prime minister.

Lets see how effective the cheerleading proves to be.

Dont mean to be insulting but isn't Bangladesh overestimating value of its so-called Diplomatic Support?

Since its in Bengali I dont understand its just analysis of some author or Bangladesh govt. official line. If its just an analysis its pretty pathetic one. Bangladesh needs Indian support as India needs Bangladesh(and I am being little generous here).



In diplomatic world things dont work like this, hope its not official line of Bangladesh govt. If it is they are heading for huge disappointment.

India settled the boundary dispute with a stroke of pen, most of the time giving aid to line of credit from railways to other sectors of Bangladesh, meaning relations are already strong it will be ultra foolish to strong arm or put conditions to India cuz it will never be fulfilled. It was not done with Nepal, not with Afghanistan, not with Sri Lanka and neither with Maldives.


Even Russia can't strong arm us nor did US for sending troops against ISIS. Its not that we are stronger than those countries but the pressure of 1.25 Billion is so high that everything is minutely observed. If it's harmful or insulting to us it's suicidal for any govt to pursue it no govt. at center will do it no matter what.

If any Bangladesh brother felt hurt or arrogant in this reply I am just analyzing objectively. Jamat e har@mi trolls can feel whatever they want :)

A diplomatic overture must be reciprocated with similar overture. It is not arm twisting which a weaker country cannot do. Teesta does not even need any overture from BD, because it is an international river and an unilateral Indian action is unwelcome.

Even india knows there is no chance to "isolate" Pakistan. Therefore, this awami stunt that somehow india will sign Teesta water sharing treaty in exchange for Hasina's support, is worthless to india. This exposes awami cheer leading (taut batpar) dyalbaba even so explicitly making awami cheer leading team a laughing stock.

Its written by an Indian Bengali Kolkata based journalist. She is estimating the motive behind BD support or suggesting Indian govt what BD govt wants.

What If India doesn't Comply? Do Bangladesh have the audacity to take a UTurn and establish cordial relation with Pakistan?

Well, the government has been receiving widespread criticism in Bangladesh for being too cozy with India... The main argument is that friendship with India has been largely a one-sided business where India has been the sole beneficiary. India's poor public image in Bangladesh doesn't help either... If India doesn't reciprocate, the government will be forced to change its current policies in light of these criticisms...

I do agree the Land Boundary Agreement was a revolutionary event. However, if you take the number of people being affected by the agreement, it's mere 50,000 or so... While the Teesta or any other transboundary river treaty will affect millions of people... There's no doubt such river treaties are far more significant...

How has India has been the sole beneficiary. If BD wants to have a lovey dovey relation with Pakistan she is free to do. Anti India sentiments doesn't matter until there is check on illegal migration and most importantly terror support. Land agreement was in favour of Bangladesh and the BD govt is rational unlike the jingoistic keyboard warrior current generation high on ummah dose.

The way BD is behaving India will have no option but to follow a carrot and sticks policy if it continues with India hatred. BD should arrange for water from Indus or Yangtze from China.

Would like to know more how is it one side affair and how exactly is India beneficiary? So far I see Indian govt. giving too generously without getting anything in return but few political statements.

You(most Bangladeshi) will be anti-Pakistan irrespective of India asking it or not cuz of your own history. I am not even counting the cheap ads your mainstream media produce against Indian cricketers (well it damages Bangladesh image too bad cuz of the status cricket have over Indian citizens).


Its not just land boundary settlement but it all started when India started hunting terrorists that spread terror in Bangladesh. What do we get in return? I am not talking about aid or political statements, tell me something significant Bangladesh is giving to India (maybe I missed something).

You are wrong. India is the bogeyman and most hated country in BD, more than even Myanmar, especially among current generations.

Land Boundary Agreement and Sea Verdict is mutual. It is not as if you have done us any favor. Both the countries settled long dispute. That's it.

You are wrong. India is the bogeyman and most hated country in BD, more than even Myanmar, especially among current generations.

India is the Bogeyman, Banga is not. You are always welcome. :smitten::smitten:Come and Have some Hilsha in Durga Puja.

India is a large country and has too much influence on their neighbours. Hate is a strong word. If you say dislike it will be more accurate.
