India readied a big “thank you“ note for friendly Sheikh Hasina regime when Lok Sabha on Thursday clinched the land boundary agreement with Bangladesh after a tortuous wait of 41 years. The lower House passed the constitutional amendment by a unanimous vote just like Rajya Sabha did a day ago.
PM Narendra Modi personally thanked Congress chief Sonia Gandhi after the vote, acknowledging the cooperation extended by opposition Congress.
Though the bill received a bipartisan support, the debate saw saffron members express concern over illegal Bangladeshi immigrants and Congress `thanked' BJP for putting a full stop to its flip-flop.
The Congress and the BJP itched to take credit for the bill after foreign affairs minister Sushma Swaraj conceded that she was only following what had been started by the Manmohan Singh regime and that the BJP had opposed the bill initially. The house toasted Swaraj for the historic agreement and she assured that it would solve many problems. The MPs obliged her with a unanimous vote as she had sought.
