Terming the United States` visa policy and restrictions imposed on Bangladesh as "humiliating and shameful," BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said, "The opposition political parties including BNP are not responsible for it, rather the government is solely responsible for it."
Talking to a local newspaper on Saturday, Mirza Fakhrul said, "The United States have imposed visa restrictions on Bangladesh for free and fair elections 52 years after the country`s independence. Our country doesn`t deserve it. But the opposition political parties including BNP are not responsible for it, rather the government is solely responsible for it."
The BNP leader observed that the Awami League government has put Bangladesh face to face with the international community. "The government has destroyed the electoral system. They have taken away the freedom of expression of people. They have been violating the human rights of people. The are arresting the opposition leaders and workers. Because of these things, different countries including the United States are taking various steps against Bangladesh."
"BNP is not worried about it, because such an undesirable situation has arisen in the country due to the government. So, it has become a matter of great concern for the government," he said.
