May 28, 2015 00:17

Hoping that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit will strengthen bilateral ties, Bangladesh's main opposition Khaleda Zia-led BNP today said it is not anti-India but its stand on issues like border killings and Teesta water sharing reflects the common public opinion.

"We hope the upcoming visit of the Indian Premier will strengthen the existing ties between two neighbouring countries," Bangladesh Nationalist Party spokesman Asaduzzaman Ripon told reporters at the party's central office.

He said the Indian Prime Minister has travelled to neighbouring countries for the stability of the region and "we also hope he will want the establishment of a democratic government for the stability and democracy of Bangladesh."
