It is applicable to all: Razzaq

Agriculture Minister Dr Md Abdur Razzak on Thursday said the new US visa policy is applicable to all as Washington has issued a warning against turbulence centring the polls, reports BSS.

"The US visa restriction has been issued for Bangladeshis who will undermine the elections," he told the journalists at his ministry in the city.

The minister said, "The government is not worried about the new visa policy of the USA... this visa policy is also applicable to BNP."

It is not a restriction on any particular political party or individual, he said, adding this change in visa process is also applicable to BNP as they burned people, set fire to public transports and blocked ambulances carrying pregnant women.
