Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen thinks that the death of Naogaon land staffer Sultana Jasmine in RAB custody will not have any impact on Bangladesh's relations with the United States.
He was talking to reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday.
While answering questions from the journalists regarding the death of Sultana in RAB custody, Momen said: "This kind of thing can happen suddenly. You can see such accidents happening in the US almost daily."
"Just this week, children were killed in a mass shooting in the US. Is the relationship with anyone getting worse? I don't think an accident like this will spoil our bilateral relationship."
Sultana, 38, an office assistant of Naogaon Municipality-Chandipur Union Land Office, was picked up by a RAB-5 patrol team on March 22 in connection with a Digital Security Act case while she was walking to work in the morning.
Later that day, she was taken to Naogaon Sadar Hospital and then to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, where she died on March 24, according to hospital authorities.
Her aide named Al Amin has already been arrested in the case.
Meanwhile, Momen said Bangladesh does not need lessons about democracy from others.
