Jan 5 election accepted by the world : PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said the world community has accepted the results of the January 5 national election in Bangladesh.“The world community has accepted the recent (national) election as the affirmative achievement against the terrorist acts and violence of the BNP and Jamaat-Shibir quarters to foil the election and grab state power illegally,” she said, replying to a question of AKM Rahmatullah (AL-Dhaka) in Parliament during the PM’s question-answer session. The Prime Minister said that a good number of state and government heads greeted the newly elected government in messages sent to her.“Besides, heads of UN and other international organisations also greeted me as the Prime Minister of the newly elected government.” The Prime Minister said that the 10th parliamentary elections and the greetings of the world community and their desire to work with the present government is the “sign of the diplomatic success” of this government, according to a news agency.
