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.
