India and Bangladesh on Monday signed a liberalised visa agreement and a landmark extradition treaty that would pave the way for the deportation of jailed ULFA ‘general secretary’ Anup Chetia and other wanted ‘criminals’.
Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde signed the agreement with his Bangladeshi counterpart Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir at the end of their bilateral talks, which also yielded a ‘revised travel arrangement’ under which New Delhi as well as Dhaka eased their visa regimes under several categories.
‘These contracts will enhance ties in areas of security... and people to people contacts,’ Shinde told a joint press conference after signing the deals here.
