DHAKA, Jan 13, 2024 (BSS) - Dhaka has strongly rejected the biased and unjustified joint statement issued by six international civil society organizations (CSOs) regarding the recently held free, fair, credible and peaceful elections in Bangladesh. "The allegations raised in the statement are false and baseless," said a statement issued by the foreign ministry here today. The foreign ministry said, the joint statement is, therefore, misleading, one-sided and unacceptable. The foreign ministry said the 12th National Parliament election of Bangladesh was held on January 7 in a very free, fair, transparent, festive atmosphere and with the large participation of the people. Many international election observers and journalists, who actively reported on the elections from the field, attested to this truth, it added.
