Law Minister Md Asaduzzaman has said the government will carefully consider all relevant aspects before taking a decision on the proposed Mecca Pact, also known as the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement.
“India will pursue its foreign policy in its own way, and we will follow ours. India will run as India does, and Bangladesh will run as Bangladesh does,” he said.
The minister made the remarks while speaking to journalists after attending a reception for meritorious students of Jhenaidah Collectorate School and College on Saturday morning.
Jhenaidah Deputy Commissioner Md Noman Hossain chaired the programme, while Prime Minister’s Political Assistant Rashed Khan attended as a special guest.
On the country’s law and order situation, Asaduzzaman said the issue was not about whether the government was satisfied, but rather about its continued efforts to maintain normal law and order nationwide.
He also said the government and the Ministry of Law were working to introduce e-judiciary as part of efforts to digitalise the country’s judicial system.
Jhenaidah district BNP President MA Majid, General Secretary Zahiduzzaman Mona, Vice-President Munshi Kamal Azad Pannu, Joint General Secretary Abdul Majid Biswas and Shailkupa upazila BNP General Secretary Humayun Babar Firoz were among those attending the reception, along with leaders and activists of BNP and its affiliated organisations.
