He was addressing as the chief guest at a discussion on 'Tipaimukh Dam and Responsibility of the Government' at the Institution of Engineers Bangladesh (IEB) in the city.

The programme was presided over by President of the organisation Md Rezaul Karim while its General Secretary Shishir Mohammad Monir Conducted it.
Barrister Moudud said that if the Tipaimukh dam is constructed, it would sour the relationship between Bangladesh and India.
He said that the Tipaimukh dam issue is the life and death matters for Bangladesh, but the government was silent.
Criticising the government, Kamruzzaman said that the ministers of the government remain silent when the Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pinak Ranjan Chakravarty delivered controversial remarks on the Tipaimukh dam issue.
