Speakers at a function yesterday said the construction of a road and a bridge inside Bangladesh territory at Goainghat upazila in Sylhet district by the Indian border security force (BSF) ignoring the protest of BDR is the direct infringement on the sovereignty of the country.
Sylhet Division Development Students' Action Council (SDDSAC) formed a human chain in front of the National Press Club on Wednesday protesting the BSF activities.
Ehsanul Haque Jasim, organization president of the council, was in the chair while Abu Naser Mohammad Rahmatullah, chairman of Swadinata Forum and Md Ilias Ali, vice chairman, NAP general secretary M. Gulam Mostafa Bhuiyan, SDDSAC leaders Shaheen Ahmed Khan, Md Abdul Basit and Nizam Uddin attended the programme.
Ehsanul Haque Jasim, in his presidential speech, said, "With the aim of establishing habitation in the territory of Bangladesh and occupying the resources, the BSF has started construction of the road and bridge to connect the Panichhula upazila of India with the Padua camp headquarters."
They are cutting trees and cleaning jungles to implement the project and occupying the area, he added.
The speakers at the programme demanded to stop construction of the road and the bridge to protect the country's sovereignty. They also urged the government to take immediate steps against the BSF move.
The BDR protested the activities of the Indian border forces and asked them to stop the construction work inside the country's territory.
A tense situation has been prevailing among the people of the bordering upazila and many of them have already started leaving their homes in fear.
