Momen made the remarks in a video statement circulated to media through internet on Saturday, reports BSS. He said: “They could have conveyed their complaint, if any, to the foreign ministry maintaining the protocol . but instead they issued public statements, visibly opting for a political exercise going beyond any diplomatic norm.”A visibly annoyed Momen questioned whether these diplomats “wanted to do politics or contest elections in this country”. Momen said he would have been happy if the diplomats would have jointly come up with a statement expressing their concerns over issues and current situation in Rakhine and urge Myanmar to stop Rohingya purging right away. The minister, however, described the envoys to be sensible persons with commendable wisdom and expected their qualities to guide them in maintaining the diplomatic norms.
