Momen slams foreigners talking on country’s democracy
National Desk//
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today (October 11, 2022) slammed “foreigners talking about democracy and elections in Bangladesh”, claiming that every democracy has weaknesses.
He, however, reiterated Bangladesh’s efforts in addressing the weaknesses, if there is any.
The foreign minister said Bangladesh struggled and made sacrifices to establish democracy and does not need advice from outside.
“We remain vocal when we see injustice. That is Bangladesh,” said minister during a media briefing at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when his attention was drawn to US Ambassador Peter Haas’ repeated comments on democracy in Bangladesh and the upcoming national election.
“Foreigners make comments when they are approached by the media here. You should come to us instead of going to them (with questions),” he added.
