BNP-Jamaat's sinister plots will go in vain: Foreign Minister

Newly appointed Foreign Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Tuesday said the BNP-Jamaat alliance has always tried to put the country in trouble but assured that all their evil designs will go in vain.

The Joint General Secretary of Bangladesh Awami League came up with the remark while talking to the reporters after his arrival at Shah Amanat International Airport in Chattogram.

He said, “We want to take the country forward by deepening our excellent relations with all - in the East and West. Nothing bad will happen to Bangladesh despite the evil designs of the BNP.”

Hasan Mahmud said the national election has attracted international attention and has been accepted by the international community as evidenced by the fact that many election observers came to Bangladesh.

He said observers from the United States of America, NDI, IRI, European Union, SAARC, OIC and Commonwealth countries and other organisations have come to Bangladesh for the election.

“They all expressed their opinion simultaneously and described the election as free and fair. This election saw relatively less violence than other elections. This is the biggest thing,” he added.
