Agriculture Minister and Awami League presidium member. Md. Abdur Razzak said the next parliamentary elections will be fair, neutral and acceptable. The Awami League as a democratic party will practice democracy in the next elections.

He made the remarks at an exchange of views after visiting Sheikh Hasina Medical College and Hospital in Tangail on Monday.

The Agriculture Minister said that no local power, conspirators and foreigners who lick their feet will be able to influence this election. At the same time, we hope that no matter how powerful the international community or the military and the economically powerful countries may be, they will never interfere in our internal affairs.

The US Ambassador to Bangladesh recently said that they will not take any side in the upcoming elections in Bangladesh. Regarding the statement of the US Ambassador, the Minister of Agriculture said that this is normal. We congratulate it. This is what I expect from everyone. We will not accept any kind of interference from any country.

Dr. Md. Abdur Razzak further said that anti-government parties including BNP are conspiring to thwart the upcoming elections. But they must remember that the people of the country are the source of all power. We have to come to power through people’s vote. Therefore, no matter how much the BNP conspires, it will join hands with the international conspirators; I think the people of this country will deal with it. No one will be able to come to power by conspiring or sneaking without elections.

On behalf of the people of Tangail, the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina thanked the Prime Minister for establishing a 500-bed Sheikh Hasina Medical College and Hospital in Tangail. Abdur Razzak said that Sheikh Hasina Medical College and Hospital is very important not only for the people of Tangail but also for many people of North Bengal. Because, Tangail is now the gateway to North Bengal. Every effort will be made to upgrade this hospital to an international standard hospital with modern facilities. Tangail district Awami League president Fazlur Rahman Khan Faruk, MP Chhota Monir, director of medical college and hospital were also present.
