DHAKA, Sept 17: Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia on Wednesday told the parliament that the Indian project of interlinking trans-boundary rivers for inter-basin water transfer is contrary to international law and convention.
She, however, hoped that India would refrain from making plans, which would be detrimental for both the countries.
“Bangladesh will have to face fatal consequences if water from the Ganges and Brahmaputra is withdrawn through interlinking,” she observed.
