Speaking with the reporters after an hour-long meeting with Indian High Commissioner Pranay Verma at the BNP Chairperson's Gulshan office he said, "India is keen on fostering greater goodwill and positivity also with the political parties in Bangladesh."

Mirza Fakhrul said that India wants to strengthen its relations with Bangladesh. Especially, after the change of government due to students' revolution the Indian High Commissioner contacted with the interim government. 

"They also want to strengthen relations with BNP. They are keen to work to bring this relationship closer," said Fakhrul. 

He said, "We raised the issues Bangladesh is facing with India, including the water-sharing dispute, border killings and the security issues which need resolution."

"We also discussed security concerns. They assured us they are vigilant and working towards resolving these problems as quickly as possible," Fakhrul said.
