New Delhi, Sep 21 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has objected to the country's land being given away to Bangladesh without the consent of those associated with it.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a seminar here, BJP leader Arun Jaitley has demanded that proper attention should be given by government to the lives of those who might be affected by the land deal with Dhaka.
He said that the central government should adopt a no-compromise policy.
"I think that there should be no compromise with the Indian land. Before the Indian Prime Minister's visit to Bangladesh, Sushma Swaraj had also said that same. We hope that the government keeps the integrity of the Indian land and those associated with it. There should be no compromise at all," he added.
Recently, during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Dhaka, a deal was inked under which New Delhi had agreed to transfer 600 acres of India's northeastern state Assam's land to bordering Bangladesh to settle the long pending boundary dispute with Bangladesh.
The agreement had affirmed that the India would hand over 600 acres of land, presently in Dhubri and Hailakandi regions of India's northeastern state of Assam to Bangladesh. (ANI)
