Still time to pass bill over land boundary with Bangladesh, says PM

“We still have time. We will try to convince opposition parties who have problems (with the legislation),” Singh said.

His comments came amid the government's intent to take up the bill in the upcoming Winter session of Parliament, which usually is convened in the second half of November.

The bill could not be taken up for consideration in the Monsoon session which ended last month as parties like Trinamool Congress strongly opposed it.

The government is since discussing the matter with Trinamool to persuade the party.

Hasina last week told PTI in New York that the Agreement will be a “win-win” for both the countries and the parties in India which are stalling it should give up their opposition.
