Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed stated in parliament that Bangladesh had invited its own misfortune regarding India’s Tipaimukh Dam. He made the remark on Wednesday during the question-and-answer session after a supplementary question from BNP lawmaker Abdul Malik of Sylhet-3. Earlier, Environment, Forest and Climate Change Minister Abdul Awal Mintu said he would discuss the matter with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Speaker recalled his experience as a former water resources minister, saying that India initiated the Tipaimukh project at the request of Bangladesh’s then foreign minister Abdus Samad Azad. Abdul Malik had raised concerns about floods and droughts in Sylhet caused by upstream water flow from the Barak River, asking what plans the government had to address the issue.
In response, Minister Mintu said he would consult the foreign ministry to find a long-term solution and take measures to reduce the recurring water crisis. The Speaker’s comment followed this exchange, linking the current challenges to earlier decisions involving the dam project.
