Abdul Momen said, “Even in 1971, not many people were with us. But we proved that we are a victorious nation. We don’t need their help. But I want to say here that the American government is very practical. They believe in the principle of reality. They give their support no matter what.
“When we won on December 16 and sent a proposal for membership in the United Nations, America supported that proposal 15 times. Some other countries vetoed, China vetoed the resolution, but America saw that since Bangladesh has become, a good government is in power, they supported us. Same thing will happen this time also, they will support us. “We look forward to it,” he stressed.
Referring to the very good situation in the country, Abdul Momen said, “There is an atmosphere of celebration in the country regarding the elections. People from all walks of life believe in the saying ‘I will vote for whoever I like.’ We believe that fair elections will be conducted in the country.
The minister also urged everyone to go for franchise with their family members.
