Banerjee urged the prime minister not to hold any such discussion with the neighbouring country without involving the Bengal government.

“I am writing this letter in the context of the recent visit of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh.

Such unilateral deliberations and discussions without consultation and the opinion of the state government is neither acceptable nor desirable,” she wrote in a three-page letter to Modi.

Banerjee noted that West Bengal shares a very close relationship with Bangladesh – geographically, culturally, and economically.
