DHAKA, 13 July 2021, (TON): The foreign minister also says the acting British envoy in Dhaka has acknowledged that their report should be objective.
Pointing at the United Kingdom, Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen said “they should see their own face in the mirror before giving advice to Bangladesh with inaccurate information.”
“This is not acceptable. They should stop this practice,” he told a small group of journalists while reacting to the UK report’s some parts and US issues.
Momen said “BNP chief Khaleda Zia is not under house arrest and their information in the report is not correct.”
The Human Rights and Democracy Report 2020 was released by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
Referring to rape cases, the foreign minister said highest 9,000 rape cases in Bangladesh may take place annually while 733,000 rape cases were recorded in the UK last year even though the UK’s population is less than half of Bangladesh’s population.
