Stand against campaign maligning Bangladesh
Dipu Moni urges Bangladeshis in UK
Foreign Minister Dipu Moni alleged that an orchestrated campaign was on to malign the country's image and urged the Bangladeshi community abroad to stand against those vested quarters.
Addressing the Bangladeshi community in Birmingham and Midlands at Birmingham City Council on Tuesday, she pointed out the present government's achievements in institutionalising democracy and attaining substantial progress in socio-economic sectors.
Dipu Moni, in the first ever visit of any Bangladeshi foreign minister to Birmingham of England, met the community, the council members, cabinet members and councilors of Midlands.
The council leader Sir Albert Bore extended a warm welcome to the foreign minister.
Dipu Moni said Bangladesh went through several past challenges including military takeovers, usurpation of state power through unconstitutional means and rigged elections.
On the International Crimes Tribunal, Dipu Moni dismissed all negative campaigns to destabilise the trial process and asserted that the tribunal was complying with international standards and would not be a “victor's justiceâ€.
She mentioned that the UN accepted Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's six-point multi-dimensional peace model for championing democracy and people's empowerment.
