BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has accused India of exercising undue dominance over Bangladesh in water-sharing agreements, particularly concerning the Ganges and other transboundary rivers. Speaking during a visit to the Mahananda River in Chapainawabganj ahead of a BNP rally themed 'Save the Padma,' Fakhrul said Bangladesh continues to suffer from water scarcity and river erosion due to India’s control of upstream flows. He criticized the Awami League government for failing to secure equitable water distribution and vowed that a future BNP government would prioritize fair water-sharing, revive the Ganges Barrage project, and strengthen the Joint Rivers Commission. Fakhrul also linked river protection to climate resilience, warning that environmental degradation threatens Bangladesh’s ecological balance. He emphasized that only an elected government can effectively defend national interests and pledged to pressure India to stop what he termed 'hegemonic behavior' while maintaining respectful bilateral relations.
