“The BNP believes in democracy. Its leaders and workers want good relation with India, obviously a democratic country. But we cannot shut our eyes if India tries to interfere in the Bangladesh’s internal and external policies and strategies. The nation too will not accept it, said BNP Standing Committee Member Gayeshwar Chandra Roy, adding that the BNP has no master beyond the boundary.
