The Bangladesh Nationalist Party's acting secretary general, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, on Sunday accused the Awami League-led government of handing over Bangladesh's land to India.
'Apart from cultural aggression, India has begun another aggression in order to occupy Bangladesh's territory. The government itself handed over land (to India) in the name of land survey at Tamabil in Sylhet,' said Alamgir, quoting a newspaper report.
He was addressing a book launching ceremony at the National Press Club. The cover of a book titled 'Bishwamay Nazrul', written by Abdul Hai Sikdar, was unveiled at the ceremony.
'Whenever we speak of protecting our lands and of protecting our people, we are asked why we are so anti-Indian,' he said.
Alamgir alleged the government was working for the neighbouring country against the country's interest. 'The government remains silent when India annexes our territory,' he said.
Alamgir said the government's 'one-party rule' was posing a great danger to the country's independence and democracy.
He claimed that Awami League was too fond of India and said there has been 'economic and cultural aggression' which must be stopped.
Alamgir called on the countrymen to be imbued with the spirit and ideals of national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam in order to save country's independence and sovereignty, which were at stake due to the government's 'misrule'.
He alleged that country's print and electronic media were not being able to work freely.
'Intelligence agencies are controlling the electronic media,' he alleged.
Referring to the obstruction of BNP's human rights affairs secretary, Barrister Nasiruddin Asim, from going abroad, Alamgir said, 'Asim was barred from leaving the country despite having a legal passport and clearance by the High Court.'
He alleged that a certain intelligence agency had stopped him going abroad.
