During the launch of a 48-hour sit-in program for the Teesta River Protection Movement on Monday afternoon, held on the banks of the Teesta River under the slogan ‘Save Teesta, Wake Up!’, Mirza Fakhrul Islam, the main speaker, addressed India clearly. He said, “If you want to have a friendly relationship with the people of Bangladesh, first give us the water of the Teesta. Stop the border killings. I have said this before, and I am saying it again now.” He further added, “They are generating electricity by building dams on all international rivers, while the people of Bangladesh are unable to produce crops, their harvests are being destroyed, and they are deprived of their livelihoods, including fishing!” In this context, he urged the interim government to speak out and demand a fair share of water, instead of maintaining neutrality everywhere.
