Indian transhipment duty waiver will amount to betrayal of people

[Al-zakir]

A foreign ministry official has earlier said the government is expected to get maximum Tk 2.0 billion as transshipment fees when it is fully operational in 2015 but the Indian authorities are bargaining with the issue.

The central government of India spends billions of rupees as transportation subsidy for ferrying cargoes from the mainland to Northeastern part through the chicken neck, he said.

So Delhi rather pay billions in subsidy yet they won't pay us even though it will save them money and time.

I get the point of Bharat though. They want to pay nothing since they have help Bd get separated from West Pakistan. Well hell with the Bharati..

If Awami allow this act of Ghaddari then it will be responsibility of all nationalist force to cut the neck of Awami dalals.

Officials said as per river protocol India has been providing Tk 52.5 million to the shipping ministry for using the river route.

All the Bangladeshi's who are agitated seem to be ignoring this line in the above article. There is no free lunch, and India is not asking for one.

If it is true, then there will be another bloodbath. If not, then AL will lose the next general election.

we were told that we are going to become the singapur by giving transit to india now seems unmasking the true face of indian intention. they are not going to give any significant amount which could equal to the cost we have to bear for giving transit .it is high time we take prudent decision about giving this chance to india .

Missing Idune Bhai. Will he back ever - God knows? He always worried about Indian intention. And now we are seeing something. What will happen if BD will understand after 5 or 6 years that giving transit to India was a wrong decision? I think if BNP will come to power then India will do more acting.

Guys, what's the big deal in this? I don't know why some BD members are up in arms. We proposed something, you refused; that's it. Why raise hell for this? Even if we've made a repeat request, why so angry about it? This is simply a business dealing that has certain political advantages and demerits for both countries. There's no need to blow hot air into this. It was a proposal, you didn't like it, we repeat it and that's it.

You're talking as if we're threatening you with invasion. Seriously, quit this complex attitude of yours. It will do more people to people damage than any political harm.

Some of these BD members should get a life and stop obsessing about India. Have you ever seen them participating in forums other than India bashing? They are here not to discuss and get the other side of the story but just to vomit their hatred. Its best to ignore them.

We also ignore people like you who ignores the well reasonable causes behind basing India by BD members.
