US changing track on Bangladesh!
Sunday, 28 September 2014
The US ambassador in Dhaka Dan Mozena has described Bangladesh’s current political situation as an “internal” problem.
This is somewhat unusual for the envoy who has usually strongly pitched for fresh interim polls during the impasse created over the Jan 5 elections.
“I think that is an internal issue that political parties of Bangladesh and the people of Bangladesh will need to resolve and they will resolve that at some point,” Mozena said Sunday, according to a news agency.
His comment was sought after the opposition BNP threatened to launch movement against the government after Eid-ul-Azha and the prime minister dismissed any chances of holding dialogue with them.
The BNP boycotted the Jan 5 polls that returned the ruling Awami League to power for the second successive term.
