No water, no trade with India: Khaleda

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia on Monday said all trades and transactions with India have to be stopped if it does not share Teesta water with Bangladesh.
Criticising India for frequent killing of Bangladeshis along the border, she asked the government to stop all kinds of road and river transits to India.
"We want friendship with India. But, it should be on give and take basis. If they (India) do not give us anything, we will not give back anything to them," the opposition leader said while addressing a rally at Lalmonirhat.
The main opposition party organised the rally at the Lalmonirhat Collectorate ground aiming to drum up public support for its demand to reinstate the caretaker government system.
Earlier on Sunday, the former prime minister stayed overnight at the Bogra Circuit House on her way to Lalmonirhat.
On the way to Bogra from Dhaka, she spoke in several rallies, including Tangail, Sherpur and Shahajahanpur upazila in the district.
BNP activists and well-wishers put up more than 300 gates on Dhaka-Dinajpur highway from Chandaikona of Sherpur upazila to Rahabol of Shibganj upazila to welcome her.
