“We will continue to support Bangladesh’s vision to build a stable, peaceful and progressive nation,” said Spokesperson at the Ministry of External Affairs Arindam Bagchi in a weekly briefing in New Delhi on Friday.

He said their position has been consistent and reiterated that the election is a domestic matter of Bangladesh and it is for the people of Bangladesh to decide their own future.

Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen recently said they want a continuation of the democratic trend in the country and do not want the destruction of democracy.

He said they want to demonstrate that Bangladesh can hold a free, fair and acceptable election. “We are the only country where people sacrificed their lives for democracy.”
