Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Monday said the recent US sanction on seven former and incumbent officers of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) will not put any impact on the next general election.
“The US sanction in the month of victory will encourage militancy but it will not affect the existing Bangladesh-US relations,” he told reporters after a meeting at the AL president’s political office in the city’s Dhanmondi area.
Quader said there is no reason to get the next election impacted by the US sanction. We will hold out our elections. Do we hold the elections as per the advice of the United States? he questioned.
