Information and Broadcasting Minister and Awami League (AL) Joint General Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud on Friday said the national election will be held in a free, fair and impartial manner whether foreign observers come or not.

“The election is ours. All the elections, including the local government polls, which were held so for, took place in a fair, free and neutral manner.

It doesn’t matter if someone observes our election or not.

BNP will not be given the opportunity to destabilize the country over the election.

The upcoming election will be held on time,” Hasan said.

The minister told journalists while replying to a query about sending a delegation by European Union or EU to observe the upcoming national election during a view exchanging meeting with journalists on contemporary issues at the YNT Center of Dewanji Pukur lane in Chattogram on Friday, reports BSS.

Awami League Relief and Social Welfare Secretary Aminul Islam Amin and Boalkhali upazila chairman were present.

“Is there any question whether foreign observers go to India during election? Is there too much talk about it? Or when there is an election in different European countries, do we go to observe from our country or from any other country? We don’t go,” he added.

He said there is a lot of talk about the election in Bangladesh.

“If foreign observers come, we welcome them, no problem. It doesn’t matter whether someone observes or not.”
