Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Friday asked the US Ambassador to Bangladesh Peter Haas not to affect the friendship with Bangladesh by making unwanted comments about Bangladesh elections and the rule of law, reports UNB.
He said this at the first preparatory meeting of the 22nd National Council at the political office of the party president in Dhanmondi of the capital in the morning.
“Do not make unwanted comments or interfere in any issue of Bangladesh. Election fraud is not only happening in Bangladesh, but also in the United States. There is still another party complaining about election rigging in the US,” said Quader.
He said mass shootings are common in the US. “Every day two, three or five people are killed in mass shootings. But you are talking about the human rights of Bangladesh.”
“Sheikh Hasina will not listen to anybody's orders. She does not fear anyone except Allah.”
"We have bitter experiences with the US. We saw their role in 1971 and 1975. Despite all these incidents, we want a good relationship with the US.”
He also said no one will benefit from this type of comment. These will only be a barrier to good relations.
