No point providing land to India for Agartala airport extension: Bangladesh opposition

Dhaka, Aug 19 (UNI) In the backdrop of External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's first visit to Bangladesh, the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) on Monday said there is no reason for the country to provide its land to India in Brahmanbaria to expand Agartala airport.
BNP also said that their party is not ‘optimistic’ about getting any positive outcome to resolve the outstanding problems with India from the visit of the minister.
"There have been media reports about it (India’s desire to use Bangladeshi land in Brahmanbaria). We are closely observing the matter," said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
