It is not the government's concern whether foreign election observers will come or not during the upcoming national election of Bangladesh, said Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Friday (22 September).
"Those who think that elections will not be fair without foreign observers are wrong. We hope that their misconceptions will soon disappear," Kamal told reporters after inaugurating the Mana-Bay Water Park at Gajaria in Munshiganj.
"We strive to present a free, fair, unbiased election. That election must be held under the impartial Election Commission. The government will provide all the support to the Election Commission," said the minister.
