After the recent squabble between India and Bangladesh over the Tipaimukh dam, a new row seems to be brewing between the two otherwise friendly neighbours.

Bangladesh Premier Sheikh Hasina has said she hoped to resolve the Tipaimukh Dam issue with India through talks in co-operation with her arch-rival Khaleda Zia's Bangladesh Nationalist Party, which is opposed to the cross-border hydro-power project in Manipur.
