B'desh opposition party says it too wanted good relations with New Delhi

Weeks after attacking the government for "selling out" to India, Bangladesh's main opposition party<br/>BNP has said, it too wanted good relations with New Delhi in a manner that would "benefit both countries." Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chief Khaleda Zia said this as she met the newly appointed Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka Rajeet Mitter, who called on her on Sunday evening. The BNP spokesman said Zia assured Mitter of extending all cooperation during his stay in Bangladesh. The opposition leader's comments came after she had a heated exchange with the government following Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's visit to New Delhi last month.<br/><br/>Zia also expressed apprehension that her archrival had reached a "secret deal" during her maiden New Delhi visit. But Prime Minister Hasina dismissed the allegations in the parliament, saying: the question of signing any secret deal doesn't arise at all .She said, if the opposition knows anything about it, let them make it public.
