JS polls Bangladesh's constitutional requirement: India
Terming yesterday's parliamentary polls as "constitutional requirement", India today reiterated its position that the "democratic processes must be allowed to take their own course in Bangladesh."
“Elections in Bangladesh on 5th January were a constitutional requirement. They are a part of the internal and constitutional process of Bangladesh,” Syed Akbaruddin, official spokesperson of India's Ministry of External Affairs, said a day after the 10th general election of its closest neighbour.
It is for the people of Bangladesh to decide their own future and choose their representatives in a manner that responds to their aspirations, he added.
"Violence cannot and should not determine the way forward. The democratic processes must be allowed to take their own course in Bangladesh," Akbaruddin, also a joint secretary, said.
