"They (India) have shown much sincerity and I have not returned empty handed," Hasina told reporters here, nearly after a week she returned home following a four-day visit to India from September 5 to 8.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said on Wednesday that her recent visit to India benefitted Bangladesh and she has not returned "empty handed" and emphasised that her trip has opened up a new horizon in the relationship between the two friendly neighbouring countries.

During Hasina's visit, India and Bangladesh signed seven agreements, including one on sharing of waters of Kushiyara river which is expected to benefit the regions of southern Assam and Bangladesh's Sylhet region.

"They (India) have shown much sincerity and I have not returned empty handed," Hasina told reporters here, nearly after a week she returned home following a four-day visit to India from September 5 to 8.

"I think that my visit, after a long break of three years due to the Covid pandemic, has opened a new horizon in Bangladesh-India relations, she said, adding that the people of both sides would be benefited from the cooperation in all the areas identified during her India visit and the decisions taken to solve the existing bilateral problems.

Her comments came as leaders of the main opposition outside parliament BNP alleged that Bangladesh gained nothing from her India visit while its secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, "Hasina is unable to deal with India".

Hasina said a MoU on the cross-border Kushiyara river was one of the major achievements of her tour as it was expected to protect over 5,820,000 hectares of land in Bangladesh's northeastern Sylhet region from sudden and protracted flooding.

She said that as per the MoU, Bangladesh would receive 153 cusecs of water under the Surma-Kushiyara project from the common river Kushiyara and as a result, 5,000 hectares of land would get irrigation facilities through Rahimpur Link Canal.

She said the water sharing issue of major Teesta also featured during her talks with Indian counterpart Narendra Modi while BNP chairperson and former prime minister Khaleda Zia even forgot to raise the long pending Ganges water issue during her New Delhi tour." Bangladesh and India had signed the Ganges Treaty in 1996 during Hasina's ruling Awami League government.

She said the two countries reached an agreement on cooperation in the fields of environment, climate change, cyber security, space technology, and green economy, cultural and people-to-people communication.

"We agreed to complete the construction work of the second gate proposed by India at the Petrapol-Benapole border as soon as possible to expand trade. A delegation from Bangladesh will soon visit India to participate in the start-up fair," Hasina added.

Hasina said New Delhi agreed not to halt export of products like sugar, onion, garlic and ginger to Bangladesh without informing Dhaka in advance so Bangladesh could find alternative sources for those essentials.

She said that cessation of border killings, trade expansion, withdrawal of anti-dumping duty on Bangladesh jute products, repatriation of the Rohingyas, import of electricity from Nepal and Bhutan via India, were also discussed.

"After all, in the changed world situation, this visit would accelerate both the countries to move forward together in a new way, Hasina said.

She added that similarities of language and culture deepened the historic relations with our closest neighbour and friendly country, India.

"Apart from this, the support during the Liberation War and cooperation after the independence has reached this friendship at a special level, she added.

Bartering of water needed because BD does not know how to retain rainy water for use in the dry season irrigation.

Basically she's come back with nothing. A powerful but poor neighbour is hard to bargain with.

Muslim countries will remain beggers till either, we are accepting interest based economies 100% without any hesitation, or, we make our own and enforce our own on this world.

Please read the definition of Usury below and do not please interchange the words Usury and Bank Interest. This Bank interest has nothing to do with Muslim underdevelopment.

Muslims will remain underdeveloped because they have more importance to the afterworld and less importance the national affairs. National affairs mean to learn from those who know better than us and apply them to build up the country.

Do Muslims have this mind?

"The action or practice of lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest. "the medieval prohibition on usury"

Food chain issue. We love to eat cow and hindus worship it.

But our muslim brothers in India understand that cow is endeared and respected by Hindus and hence do not kill in front of us. There are still 15 states in India where it is allowed including Kashmir. That does not stop us being friends, neighbors and co-workers. It is like if you have hindu neighbors, would you kill in front of them just to hurt their feelings. If you have decency you would not.

No point even bothering to try and explain to those of a certain bent from among our neighbours.

Next thing you know, they'll be going "haha, we don't eat pig because dirty, you don't eat cow because holy" .. heard that one before ?

Ma to sab kuch kha leta khushi khushi.. a chunk of grilled beef topped with crispy bacon and sandwiched in a nice toasty bun with cheese, onions, tomatos, iceberg lettuce and some special sauce.. hell, throw in a fried egg too

Food chain issue. We love to eat cow and hindus worship it.

Muslims like to eat meats including beef but not pork. Hindus worship cows because a cow provides milk throughout its child-bearing life. However, they also do not eat male cows as well.

Worship also means showing respect to a Deity or even a good and honorable person. I have seen Hindus show respect to Muslim pious men dead and alive. In the case of cows, I think it is gratitude.
