India is provoking at the border, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman criticizes the government's silence

He made these remarks as the chief guest at a divisional rally organized by the 11-party alliance at Rangpur Zilla School ground on Saturday (July 11) afternoon.

Dr. Shafiqur Rahman said that along with BGB members, local people are also playing a courageous role in resisting the border situation. He congratulated the members and common people serving at the border for this.

Criticizing the government, he said that no visible response has been received from the government regarding the border issue so far. He urged the government to take a stance considering the expectations of the people and national interests. At the same time, he advised learning from past political history.

He further said that various pressures are being exerted to make them withdraw from their demand for a referendum. However, they will continue their movement to keep their promise to the people and remain uncompromising in their demand for implementing a referendum.

Speaking on the Teesta issue, the Jamaat Ameer said that although development plans centered on the Teesta River were promised before the elections, no effective allocation has been made in the current budget for this matter. He said that not just promises but concrete steps are needed to resolve the long-standing suffering of the people of the Teesta region.

He further said that if the current government fails in this regard, initiatives will be taken to implement the Teesta project and related demands if they get the opportunity to form a government with the people's support in the future.
