UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister’s ICT Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy on Monday said it seems that the US Embassy in Dhaka has become a ‘mouthpiece’ for the BNP.
He said they (US Embassy) are parroting BNP claims about the recent election in Gazipur and emphasizing irregularities, while making absolutely no comment on the BNP’s attempt to cause violence in that election.
“The current US Government has a strict policy of not interfering in the internal affairs of other
countries, so this is just the local Embassy’s opinion,” Joy said on his verified Facebook page.
He said, as usual, the Embassy officials have been spending too much time with their BNP friends.
Joy mentioned that there were irregularities in 9 polling centers out of 425, which is just 2.1%.
The Election Commission suspended polling in those centers and canceled the vote, which is exactly what they are supposed to do. “Our new Mayor Jahangir Alam received double the votes of BNP’s Hasan, a margin of over 200,000 votes. All poll observers stated that the few irregularities could not have affected the outcome,” Joy said.
