BNP raises alarm over Dhaka’s nod to Rakhine aid corridor

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia’s BNP has expressed “grave concern” over the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government’s announcement that Dhaka had agreed in-principle to open a humanitarian corridor for transporting relief supplies to Myanmar’s Rakhine state.

On Monday, BNP secretary general Mira Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said the government should have consulted with all political parties before taking such a “major decision” as it involved the question of “our independence, sovereignty and stability and peace of the region in the future”.
