Ashraf goes to Delhi today
FROM PAGE 20
India tour has already begun with Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad and with Indian objective to establish people-to-people relations instead of party-to-party or govern-ment-to-government ties.
New Delhi truly wants to maintain long-lasting ties with its neighbour Bangladesh which will not be affected with the change of governments in Dhaka, the sources add.
As part of current visits by Bangladeshi politicians, Awami League General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam begins a five-day tour of India today.
Talking to The Daily Star, a diplomatic source at the Indian High Commission in Dhaka said more than 15 topranking leaders, mostly from AL, are expected to visit India this year at the invitation of the Indian government.
Leader of the Opposition and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is also expected to visit India soon at the invitation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Singh invited her during his visit to Bangladesh on September 6-7 last year.
Delhi is expecting Khaleda's visit to India in the second or third week of October, but no date has yet been fixed. BNP sources hint that Khaleda will visit both India and China in October-November.
Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury is also set to visit India in the first week of October, the High Commission sources say.
Diplomatic sources say though the visits by Bangladeshi politicians are part of strengthening bilateral relations, one of the main objectives is to enhance understanding that India is
sincere to maintain strong ties with Bangladesh.
They add the Indian side will also brief the political leaders from Bangladesh about India's failure to take some important decisions including Teesta water sharing deal and the land boundary agreement because of domestic compulsion.
But India will make a commitment to the Bangladesh leaders that they will implement its commitments given to Bangladesh expeditiously, the sources add.
According to a press release of the High Commission of India yesterday, LGRD and Cooperatives Minister Syed Ashraful Islam will be visiting India from September 18-22 at the invitation of his counterpart Jairam Ramesh, minister for rural development and drinking water and
