AL expects PM to formally look into Momen's remarks

Awami League Presidium Member Abdur Rahman on Saturday hoped that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina would look into her cabinet member Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen's recent remarks, reports UNB.
"Surely, we expect that the Prime Minister will formally look into the matter as he (Momen) is a minister and a member of her cabinet," he told reporters, adding that they are also talking informally with the foreign minister after his recent comments.
While talking to reporters at Dhanmondi 32, the AL leader said they request the foreign minister to refrain from making any remarks that mischievous people might look to take advantage of. He hoped that the foreign minister would be careful.
Rahman said the foreign minister can explain better what he said. "But I can clearly say it is not the party's statement if you take into consideration the media reports quoting foreign minister Momen."
He said India is a tested friend of Bangladesh and recalled the great contribution of the country and its people during the War of Liberation in 1971. "We can never forget their contributions."
The AL leader said his party does not believe in dependence on foreign powers to come to power and stay in power. "We depend on the people of the country."
Foreign minister Momen on Friday explained that he told the Indian government that Bangladesh would be happy if India helps Bangladesh in maintaining stability, noting that Sheikh Hasina wants stability and communal harmony in the country.
