“They [foreigners] have not put any pressure on us and they do not have the right to put pressure.

We are an independent and sovereign country,” EC Md Alamgir said following an exchange meeting with the Jamalpur district administration, police administration and election-related government officials on Wednesday (6 December).

“The Election Commission is an independent institution. They want to know what measures we have taken to make the elections fair, free and peaceful,” he added.
