The prime minister, in reply to an MP's query in Parliament on Wednesday, mentioned names of several countries with which Bangladesh signed defence cooperation MoUs. Hasina was responding to a question from reserved seat MP Fazilatun Nasa Bappy who asked: "if any country other than India has signed defence deal with Bangladesh." She specifically asked Hasina to inform Parliament about the defence deal signed with China. They did not let anyone in Bangladesh know anything about that deal, not even Parliament," the prime minister said. The BNP has protested against three defence MoUs with India signed at the time, saying that those pushed the country's existence in danger.
