Why India supports this election

Ignoring protests and pleas of the people from all walks of life not to hold the January 5 general election, in which major political parties did not participate, the government made it clear how little it cares for the country.
The US, UK, Canada and commonwealth have termed the election "disappointing" as more than half of the seats were uncontested and the remaining ones showed only token opposition. They are dissatisfied with the way the poll was held and called the new government to immediately engage in dialogue to find a way for holding a new election that is free, fair, credible, peaceful and truly participatory.
But India is the exception. It said that it was a "constitutional requirement." In the Liberation War of 1971, India helped us and we are grateful for it. We thought that it extended a helping hand towards a neighbour in distress, but now we have ground to think otherwise… India had its own agenda.
India made it a point to support the party which serves its interests.
