There is no alternative for Bangladesh to develop a good bilateral relationship with India to achieve the expected development in Bangladesh, said speakers at a discussion yesterday.
Both the countries should come forward to maintain the good relationship by resolving existing problems considering the relationship during the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971, they observed.
They made the remark at a discussion on Bangladesh-India relationship organised marking the 36th death anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Institution of Diploma Engineers auditorium in the city.
Ekatturer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee [forum for secular Bangladesh and trial of 1971 war criminals] organised the programme.
Foreign Minister Dipu Moni said maintaining a conflicting relationship with India will bring nothing good for the country. Bangladesh can be benefited in many ways by developing a healthy relationship with India, which had provided a huge support during the war of Bangladesh in 1971, she said.
State Minister for Liberation War Affairs ABM Tajul Islam said India as a big country should come forward first to resolve the existing disputes between the two countries.
Historian Prof Dr Muntassir Mamoon said the relationship between Bangladesh and India is historical.
Shahriar Kabir, executive president of the Nirmul Committee, said feared that a vested quarter is active to damage the good relationship between Bangladesh and India. He called upon all to remain alert to foil such conspiracy.
