Stopping ‘border killings’, Ganga waters treaty renewal, Hasina’s presence in India to be priority for incoming BNP government

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has emphasized the need to address border killings and prioritize the renewal of the Ganga waters treaty in its upcoming government. Party sources indicate that the BNP views the India-Bangladesh border as settled and argues against the use of lethal force in border incidents, advocating for more diplomatic resolutions. Additionally, the BNP has expressed concerns regarding former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s remarks on Bangladesh’s domestic matters, which they believe could hinder the normalization of relations with India. As the BNP prepares to assume power, fostering a cooperative relationship with India will be crucial, particularly in light of the historical context of bilateral ties and the ongoing discussions on water-sharing agreements. The party's approach aims to balance national interests while ensuring regional stability and mutual respect in diplomatic engagements with India.
