Reportage
Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen has refrained from commenting on what the United States or Russia is saying about Bangladesh.
"We don't want to be dragged into any problem," he told reporters when his attention was drawn to Russia's latest remarks about Bangladesh.
Momen said Bangladesh is maintaining a balanced foreign policy and it is going to hold a free and fair election on January 7 next year. "Rest, I don't know."
A reporter referred to the Russia's latest remarks: "If the results of the people's will are not satisfactory to the United States, attempts to further destabilize the situation in Bangladesh along the lines of the 'Arab Spring' are likely."
Momen ruled out the possibility, noting that he does not see any such scope.
"We are a democratic country. You must agree with me that Bangladesh's democracy has been strengthened due to Sheikh Hasina. We will maintain this democratic process," he said.
Momen said Bangladesh can manage disruptive activities like vandalism and arson attacks. "We could overcome those. Some evil forces who don't believe in democracy are trying to foil the democratic process."
