The federal government intends to introduce the balance during the cold months Session of Parliament, which commences on Thursday. Bangladesh has ratified the agreement.

Even while the federal government presented the Agreement and Protocol like a foreign policy achievement, it's needed to tread gradually around the amendment. It has been partially due to the bookings of West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee.

The Trinamool Congress was a friend from the UPA government during the time of filling out the Protocol.

New Delhi's delay in ratifying the Agreement and also the Protocol continues to be something of the irritant for Dhaka. India had assured Bangladesh it's trying to develop a political consensus.
