Awami League congratulated Donald Trump on his election as the 47th President of the United States. The party's joint general secretary AFM Bahauddin Nashim gave a congratulatory message in a press release on Wednesday.
In his congratulatory message, he said, 'Congratulations and best wishes to Donald Trump for being elected the 47th US President. We hope that the new US president will work to establish world peace and democracy. Under his leadership, the world will end all wars and return to peace.'
He also said, 'Donald Trump has told the world in his Twitter message that the way in which democracy has been destroyed and anarchy has been created in Bangladesh. Donald Trump highlighted various aspects in a tweet about the rights of minorities in Bangladesh. We expect that he will take appropriate steps so that the minorities of Bangladesh are not oppressed again.'
Bahauddin Nashim said, freedom of expression has been suppressed in Bangladesh by arson, attacks, disappearance cases, arrests and innumerable killings and anarchy has been created across the country. The people are waiting for the democratic government elected by the people to take responsibility and move Bangladesh forward on the path of development after all the illegal occupations on the land of Bengal will end soon. He urged everyone to be vigilant with steel-hard unity against illegal encroachers from their respective places.
