Dhaka, Feb 23 (IANS) Terming West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's three-day trip to Dhaka, which concluded Saturday, as "heart-warming", an editorial in Bangladesh's Daily Star newspaper Monday said the Bangladeshis believed in Banerjee's assurances for the Teesta water sharing and land boundary deals. "In practical terms, as the chief minister of the most important neighbouring Indian state to Bangladesh, she (Banerjee) has had a say on two vital issues for us -- the Teesta water sharing (deal) and the land boundary agreement (LBA)," the editorial said. "She has held out assurances that these issues will be resolved in the foreseeable future... We take her (Banerjee) for her words and believe that Bangladesh's interest in an equitable sharing of the Teesta waters will be duly protected," it added. Banerjee, who had blocked the Teesta water sharing deal between India and Bangladesh four years ago, assured Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Saturday of a solution to the issue.
