The land-swap deal signed by India and Bangladesh on September 6, 2011 for transferring over 500 acres of the Assam’s land to the neighbouring country. The ratification also would have transferred some other territories in Bangladesh to India.
On Tuesday, two Rajya Sabha members of AGP had snatched a copy of a bill from External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, minutes after he tried to introduce the proposed legislation for land swap with Bangladesh.
