Tauhid Hossain said, I said, the relationship will be people-centric. There will be only relationship between government and government, people will have no role; That's not it. There are some problems that need to be fixed and improved. People think they are our friends.

Regarding the discussion on Teesta water distribution, the foreign advisor said, I have said this much about Teesta, I know that water is low. Teesta does not have enough water for a country. But there is. I told him that the water is low, very low. But there is. If you have 100 cusecs of water, can't you give us 30 cusecs of water?
