BNP criticizes Russian ambassador’s comments in line with AL: calls for respect for Bangladesh’s democratic values

The Russian ambassador last Wednesday described the BNP’s statement about Russia’s role in the recently concluded 12th parliamentary elections as “misleading and false”. He urged everyone not to believe such statements.

Earlier on Saturday, BNP Standing Committee member Gayeshwar Chandra Roy had said in a party program that Sheikh Hasina’s government does not belong to the people of Bangladesh; Rather, this government has been formed by India, China and Russia together.

Today’s statement, signed by Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, said he found that Russian Ambassador Mnitsky posted in Dhaka termed the BNP’s statement as “misleading and false”. He (the ambassador) further claimed that the people of Bangladesh elected the government in the parliamentary elections and 41.8 percent people voted. Most of them voted for Awami League.
