Doraiswami: Polls Bangladesh's internal matter

Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Vikram Kumar Doraiswami on Saturday said they have "absolutely nothing" to comment on the upcoming election, noting as this is an internal issue of Bangladesh, reports UNB.

"For us, there is absolutely nothing that we have to comment on," he said.

The high commissioner made the remarks when reporters approached him on the next national election at a program at Maizbhandar Sharif of Fatikchhari Upazila in Chittagong.

He went there to provide gilaf at the shrine of Shafiul Bashar Maizbhandari.

Tarikat Federation Chairman and local lawmaker Syed Nazibul Bashar Maizbhandari was also present.

Doraiswami said that India is friends with Bangladesh and its democracy.

“We look forward to seeing the elections and their results. We also aim to work with the next government,” the Indian envoy added.
