DHAKA, Oct 4, 2023 (BSS) – Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today said the political parties which intend not to participate in the Bangladesh’s upcoming general elections would not get any US backing. “America will not be with parties which would not join the polls,” he said in his first interaction with newsmen hours after his return home from the United States and UK along with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Momen reiterated the government views that it was no reason to worry about the US visa policy while it mounted no pressure on Dhaka. Replying to a question, the foreign minister said if necessary Bangladesh can also impose sanctions on other countries. “Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has the courage and she has the confidence (to hold free, fair polls),” Momen added.
