Dhaka, Bangladesh (Tazakhobor.com): Paschimbanga chief minister Mamata Banerjee has opposed the Dhaka-Delhi agreement to resolve the long-pending issue of exchanging enclaves held in adverse possessions.

Indian newspaper Anandabazar reported that, efforts are now on to secure Mamata’s consent on the agreement on exchange of enclaves that would help bring down the curtains on a major irritant that has been there in India-Bangladesh ties since 1974.
After the Teesta water-sharing issue, this is the second time that Mamata opposes the agreement, signed during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Dhaka in September last year. The Indian parliament is yet to ratify the agreement.
Just prior to the Indian PM’s arrival in Dhaka on September 6, Mamata Banerjee took stand against the Teesta water-sharing deal which was almost set to be signed during Manmohan’s visit. Manmohan had to backtrack from translating the long cherished dream into reality, putting a strain in the bilateral relations.
Since Mamata’s objections prevented the signing of Teesta river water-sharing accord in September last, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is not willing to go ahead with the ratification of the deal on exchange of enclaves without a consensus, Anandabazar Patrika said in the front-page report.
From the very begining main opposition BJP also has opposed the agreement signed by the two countries on exchange of enclaves. Opposing this, BJP said along with exchange of enclaves, there should be exchange of population irrespective of the wishes of the people residing there, the daily said. Given all this, India is proceeding cautiously on the exchange of enclaves, the report added.
