Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain on Tuesday said that only one agreement signed with India during the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League regime has been cancelled.

Mentioning that the news of scrapping 10 agreements and projects is incorrect, the adviser told the media that the cancelled deal involved the purchase of tugboats from India.

His remarks came after Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives Adviser Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain shared information about scrapping the agreements in a Facebook post on Sunday night.

Touhid, however, made no comments on the issue on Monday.

Speaking to reporters at the foreign ministry on Tuesday, the foreign adviser said, “The interim government has cancelled only one agreement inked with India. We have scrapped the tugboat agreement with Indian defence company GRSE. It has been considered that the deal is not very profitable for Bangladesh.”

“The list that has been circulated appears to have originated from an unknown source and was later reposted by an adviser with a personal comment,” Touhid said, without directly naming his colleague.

He declined to comment further on the social media post but sought to clarify the record by reading out the official status of LoC-related agreements.

According to Touhid, the only agreement cancelled was the one concerning the purchase of tugboats from India, which was terminated through mutual discussion between the two governments.

He added that several other agreements remain under review, but no decisions on cancellation have been taken.

“Many of the so-called ‘agreements’ mentioned in the viral list are either misreported or entirely fictional,” he emphasised.

When asked about recent developments regarding Bangladesh’s request for the extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, an issue that has occasionally surfaced in political discourse, Adviser Touhid said there were no updates on the matter.

The clarification comes amid growing public confusion fueled by unverified social media posts and underscores the government’s effort to provide accurate information on sensitive bilateral engagements with India, a key development partner under the LoC framework.
