He sought China’s cooperation in implementing the Teesta Master Plan during his recent visit to China and referred to the Prime Minister’s Teesta-related speech in the National Parliament, saying that the current government is a patriotic nationalist government. This government is committed to implementing the Teesta Master Plan.
He called for spreading the message of his initiated ‘Jago Bahe, Teesta Bachai’ movement to every corner of the northern districts and said that Teesta is a transboundary river deeply involved in the lives, livelihoods and economy of the people of northern Bangladesh.
