External entities appreciating BNP’s efforts in Bangladesh

By R. Hassan, TON Bangladesh

The untiring efforts and strong determination of BNP is finally dragging it to the position where it should be. BNP under the leadership of Begum Khaleda Zia has attained fame and favor for next coming elections not only by internal factors but also from outer side the Bangladesh. Besides facing so many hardships and difficulties Begum Khaleda Zia remained consistent with her national ideology and never got tired in times of trials.

Currently as the general elections of 2023 are approaching ahead in bangladesh and current political situation is in great chaos of turnover and regime change as ruling party, AL, under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina Wajed is also busy in accumulating strength and power n order to face BNP’s strong opposition this time. In previous elections due to controversial behavior of election commission and the ruling party, BNP remained far away from political unrest in the state and boycotted the general elections but this time as the new election commission has already formed and special ways and means are going to be adopted for the conduct of fair and clear elections. Hence the possibility of false election is being reduced down. Moreover, international watchdogs are also very conscious regarding elections of 2023 in Bangladesh and they wish not to be repeated the previous controversial   and elections unrest which further creates disturbance in the domestic politics and accordingly in international politics.

On 14th of November 2022, Canadian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Lilly Nicholls held a closed-door meeting with BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir at the BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's Gulshan office. They mutually discussed various issues relating to Bangladesh's upcoming national election and human rights situation especially in terms of human rights, elections, law and security. The meeting went on for around one and a half hours. Lilly Nicholls Canadian High Commissioner to Bangladesh highlighted that Canada on multiple occasions has told the Bangladesh government that human rights are being violated in Bangladesh. Moreover, one of the leaders of BNP told that BNP has no reason to go to the next polls under the current government and they are determined on this stance. And to hold free and fair elections caretaker government must be established ousting the current government for ensuring a credible election, where people will be able to freely exercise their voting rights.

Furthermore, Japanese Ambassador to Bangladesh Naoki I to met BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on 13th of November 2022 at BNP Chairperson's Gulshan office a day after attacks on some leaders of the party in Dhaka and Comilla. They more likely discussed about the various issues of bilateral cooperation between the two countries alongside the latest political situation in Bangladesh. Japanese ambassador to Bangladesh appreciated the efforts of BNP in the state and Japan gave words to favor BNP in the next coming elections.

Bangladesh Nationalist Party is not a ruling party in Bangladesh but yet it has got great fame and earned name in the international politics as all other foreign actors in the world politics support democracy in every state and help states to democratize to get stabilize and not becoming threat for the whole world. Similarly there have been complaints by international watchdogs in Bangladesh for violating the democratic rules and regulations which has created serious threat to democracy in Bangladesh and neighboring states as well. So in order to restore democracy in Bangladesh, BNP as a democratic supporter is being favored by other states as well.
