Information Hasanul Haq Inu has blamed India opening all gates of the barrage for the flooding in Rajshahi-Kushtia areas.
But, Disaster Management and Relief Minister Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya thinks even if all the gates to the barrage are opened, it would make no difference for Bangladesh.
India built the controversial barrage across the river Ganges at Murshidabad and Maldaha in West Bengal four decades ago, discounting strong protests by Bangladesh.
Dhaka had objected to New Delhi cutting off the water supply with the barrage. Both countries had signed a deal to share the water of the river which enters Bangladesh as Padma.
But India allegedly blocks the water supply when it needs water during the dry season and opens the barrage during the rainy season.
The flood has also affected Kushtia, Information Minister Inu's home district.
The minister spoke to journalists while distributing relief goods among the flood-affected people of Bherhamara on Sunday.
"It's not right to open the gates across a common river. I will draw the attention of the Indian authorities to the matter after counting the losses we've suffered," he said.
The JaSoD president said the government was making plans for permanent rehabilitation of the flood-hit people.
"The relief minister (Maya) and the prime minister will directly supervise the rehabilitation," he added.
Maya in a meeting in Chandpur also spoke about the barrage.
"We had once said the Farakka Barrage is a death trap for us. But now it has become a death trap for India," he said.
"Farakka water will not be a problem for us, we think," he added.
He also said his ministry was prepared to tackle the flood until November.
The Padma rose by eight centimetres in past 24 hours, but was flowing four centimetres below the danger level at Rajshahi Point on Sunday morning.
The Rajshahi City Protection Dam, however, developed cracks due to the pressure of the rising water.
A 45-metre span of the dam in Faridpur has also been breached.
