Teesta Deal To Be Finalized Soon, Hints Bangladesh

Dhaka: India and Bangladesh will soon be signing the Teesta water-sharing treaty as the agreement has reached its final destination, said Bangladeshi official. "We are confident that it will be signed soon. 

The agreement is ready. The ball is on India's court now," daily star quoted Gowher Rizvi, the international affairs adviser to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, as saying. Rizvi was addressing a panel discussion on the last day of the two-day Bangladesh-India Friendship Dialogue held here. Drafted in 2010, the Teesta treaty was supposed to be signed between the two countries in September 2011. 

However, it was shelved in the last hour following protest from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. India shares cordial relationship with Bangladesh and both countries have been looking to book trade and security along the border with special emphasis in fighting human trafficking. The two neighbours signed the historic land boundary agreement last year to simplify their 4,000-km border and to clarify the identities of 52,000 living in enclaves. ANI

Pappu Announces ‘Bounty’ On Corrupt Babus Head

Darbhanga: Lok Sabha MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav has stirred a controversy, asking the Dalits and people from the backward community to pick up arms for fighting atrocities and shoot the corrupt officials.
Yadav brazenly stated that he would reward those who beat the corrupt officials to death in public.
“If the government is not taking action against bureaucrats and ministers who are looting the poor then the Dalits should shoot the politicians responsible for deaths like that of Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula. The Dalits should fight against all those who are responsible for Vemula’s death,” Yadav said.
“Those who bring the tapes of corrupt officials would be rewarded Rs. 25,000 and those who beat them to death in public would be awarded Rs. 10 lakh from my side,” he added.
The Jan Adhikar Party (JAP) leader had earlier during a discussion on the Aircel-Maxis deal in Parliament demanded that corrupt politicians and bureaucrats should be hanged as punishment for indulging in corruption.
His comment — that all politicians are corrupt – drew sharp reactions in the House, leading Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu to intervene.
