Bangladesh is keeping an eye on India’s new citizenship law, according to Foreign Minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud, who stated today that Bangladesh is a neighboring country.
“It is an internal affair of India and the government (of Bangladesh) is watching it as a neighboring country,” he said while exchanging views with journalists at YNT Center in city’s Dewanji Pukur this noon.
The most recent general election in Bangladesh was conducted in a very free and fair manner, according to Hasan, who is also the joint secretary of the Bangladesh Awami League (AL). However, the United States might have a different view.
He continued, “The United States can express their opinion because some opposition parties abstained from the election.”
“We respect the difference of opinion of any country. However, most countries, including the United States, have expressed their intention to advance relations with us in the future,” he said.The foreign minister said governments and heads of state of about 80 countries of the world congratulated Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after election.
