New Delhi: Two days after Bharatiya Janata Party’s new Bengal chief minister said that the state government has begun tranferring land to the Border Security Forces to fence the India-Bangladesh border, Dhaka said that Bangladesh is not “afraid of barbed wire.”

Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s foreign affairs adviser M. Humayun Kabir told reporters on May 11 that the people and government of Bangladesh are not afraid of border fencing and would speak out whenever necessary to protect national interests, the state-run news agency Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) has reported.
