'We will talk with India eye to eye': Asif Mahmud
“From now on, we want to engage with other countries with our heads held high, speaking for national interests rather than party interests," he said.
The government will talk eye to eye with other countries, including India, for the sake of the country without kneeling down, Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan said yesterday (10 September).
"The previous government was a submissive regime lacking people's mandate. When dealing with other countries, they spoke with their heads bowed," Asif said during a discussion meeting organised by the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement at the Town Hall Ground in Cumilla.
"From now on, we want to engage with other countries with our heads held high, speaking for national interests rather than party interests," he added.

Asif further stated that India must now engage with the people of Bangladesh, rather than with just one party -- the Awami League.
