India letting Bangladesh down
India letting Bangladesh down

Eminent Indian journalist Kuldip Nayar yesterday noted that India's signing of a deal to construct the Tipaimukh dam without informing Bangladesh was a violation of trust.
India is letting Bangladesh down, he said while talking to the journalists of The Daily Star during a courtesy visit to the offices of the newspaper yesterday.
If a country like India has no respect for the word it has given, then what happens to small nations? he asked.
We have to see that New Delhi allays Dhaka's fears on this point, said the 88-year old Nayar, who has been involved in journalism for more than five decades.
The noted columnist, widely read across the sub-continent and beyond, said that people of a right mind in India would take up the issue of the Tipaimukh dam with the Indian government.
I will not just write about it but I shall also see that our organization, Citizens for Democracy, organises seminars and stages protests on this issue, he added.
