Election and foreigners
Thanks to Mr S. Mahmood, a senior journalist, for his very appropriate analysis regarding the role of foreign envoys in dealing with the internal affairs of Bangladesh, especially the crucial general election.
I think we are tired of their advice which is contradictory to our national views and goes against the principle of democracy. We are not talking of any physical barriers which can easily be removed if the normal and general laws of the land are applied with honesty and neutrality.
The other contentious issue is presence of foreign observers to observe our election. Here gain, Mr. Mahmood has very correctly analysed the need for a credible election. The people of Bangladesh will determine that, not any foreign observers or any local observers.
