If needed, let's discuss privately.

A legal notice has been served to the government urging cancellation of all facilities, including transit and transshipment, granted to India.

Supreme Court lawyer Mohammad Azizul Haque served the notice on Thursday, reports UNB.

The notice was served to the secretaries to the foreign and finance ministries.

SC lawyer Azizul said that if the government does not take steps to cancel the transit and transshipment facilities, as well as discriminatory agreements signed with India, a writ petition will be filed in the higher court seeking necessary steps in this regard.

He further stated that India has already revoked the transshipment facilities it had given to Bangladesh.

Now, the people of Bangladesh also want all facilities granted to India to be withdrawn, he added.​

The interim government has strongly refuted any attempts to implicate Bangladesh in the communal violence in Murshidabad.

"We strongly refute any attempts to implicate Bangladesh in the communal violence in Murshidabad," Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam told UNB on Thursday.

"We urge the government of India and West Bengal to take all steps to fully protect the minority Muslim population," Alam said.

The Indian Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has been apprised of an initial probe into West Bengal's Murshidabad violence, which indicates the involvement of alleged Bangladeshi miscreants, the Indian media reported on Tuesday quoting sources.​

India Bangladesh Trade War: Who Is Winning? (The GoB should stop buying cotton from a hostile country like India. We have other friendly countries who are willing to sell cottons to us. The West African countries collectively supply 1.9 million bales, 41% of Bangladesh's total import. As a single country Brazil emerged as the major supplier of cotton to Bangladesh. Brazil exports 970487 bales which is 20% of the market share. Whereas India exports 887600 bales which is 19% of the total market share. Bangladesh imports $15 billion worth of products from Bangladesh and India imports just $1.8 billion worth of products from Bangladesh. If we impose a trade embargo on India, they will suffer because we are the largest export market for India in South Asia.)

The MEA and Trade Ministry in India decided to not escalate the trade war with Bangladesh because they know they'd lose....which is obvious.
