Foreign diplomats' concern

We understand the concern of the US and European Union diplomats in Bangladesh on the state of democracy here. I am sure they understand the limitations of democratic elections particularly in a country where 80% of the electorate are uneducated. You just have to look at Egypt to understand that.
We would like to request the diplomats to meet all parties in the 18-party combine and not only the BNP. 18-party does not mean only BNP, there are 17 other parties. But the diplomats are only talking with the BNP. It is only when they exchange views with all members of the 18-party alliance that the diplomats will understand what a frightful situation awaits Bangladesh if these parties come to power.
