The Department of State of United States today announced to take steps to impose visa restrictions on Bangladeshi individuals responsible for undermining the democratic election process in Bangladesh, said a press statement by US state department spokesperson Matthew Millar on Friday.

“Today, the Department of State is taking steps to impose visa restrictions on Bangladeshi individuals responsible for, or complicit in, undermining the democratic election process in Bangladesh. These individuals include members of law enforcement, the ruling party, and the political opposition,” the US state department release said.


The state department release said the United States is committed to supporting free and fair elections in Bangladesh that are carried out in a peaceful manner.

“Our actions today reflect the continued commitment of the United States to supporting Bangladesh’s goal of peacefully holding free and fair national elections, and to support those seeking to advance democracy globally,” it added.

Earlier on 24 May, the US secretary of state Antony J Blinken announced the new visa policy under Section 212(a)(3)(C) (“3C”) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to support Bangladesh’s goal of holding free, fair, and peaceful national elections.

“These persons and members of their immediate family may be found ineligible for entry into the United States. Additional persons found to have been responsible for, or complicit in, undermining the democratic election process in Bangladesh may also be found ineligible for US visas under this policy in the future. This includes current and former Bangladeshi officials, members of opposition and ruling political parties, and members of law enforcement, the judiciary, and security services,” the press statement adds.

That would be the last 700 years of Hindu history.

You follow a “religion” that has no name other than the insulting slur coined by Muslims.

You live in a country that was coined as an insulting slur by Europeans.

Those are the facts!

State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam on Friday said that they were not worried about the US visa restrictions.

"We are not worried about it. We don't think we did anything wrong," he said in a press briefing at his residence in Dhaka’s Gulshan following the US announcement that it started applying visa policy ahead of Bangladesh's national polls.

The state minister said the US side communicated with the government about the new announcement a couple of days ago.

"Yesterday (Thursday) they had a good meeting with the prime minister," he said as US Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy and Human Rights Uzra Zeya met the prime minister on the margins of the UN General Assembly.

When asked about the names of the individuals who faced the restriction, the state minister said: "If they (US) don't say specifically, then we cannot say."

He, however, said the number or list is not big and includes members of the opposition parties as well.

"As we responded in the beginning, we would expect it to be done judicially, not arbitrarily," he said.

He added that the government would take up the individual visa issue to the discussion table if it hampers the official activities.

"We will talk on that particular issue," he said, adding that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs successfully dealt with three cases in the last 10 years when there was no visa policy.

"We have also seen some strategic changes among the opposition parties after the visa policy. If someone checks, maybe it (visa policy) has something to do with it," he said, adding that in the past they have created an anarchic situation before the elections in Bangladesh.

"They (US) said that the opposition political party leaders are being brought under the visa policy. We don't want any state or agency to interfere in our internal affairs. It's loud and clear. But they announced it, we see it in good spirits," he said.

Replying to a question, the state minister said also there is no reason to see further sanctions from the US before the elections.

"Did any such incident take place recently?" he asked back as journalists kept asking about further sanctions.

He said the government had addressed the concerns related to RAB after the US sanctions.

The US Department of State said it is taking steps to impose visa restrictions on Bangladeshi individuals responsible for, or complicit in, undermining the democratic election process in Bangladesh.

These individuals include members of law enforcement agencies, the ruling party, and the political opposition, the US State Department said in a statement on Friday.

It, however, did not disclose the names of those individuals.

"The United States is committed to supporting free and fair elections in Bangladesh that are carried out in a peaceful manner.

"These persons and members of their immediate family may be found ineligible for entry into the United States."

"Additional persons found to have been responsible for, or complicit in, undermining the democratic election process in Bangladesh may also be found ineligible for US visas under this policy in the future. This includes current and former Bangladeshi officials, members of opposition and ruling political parties, and members of law enforcement, the judiciary, and security services,” the statement adds.

"Our actions today reflect the continued commitment of the United States to supporting Bangladesh’s goal of peacefully holding free and fair national elections, and to support those seeking to advance democracy globally," the statement reads.

On May 24, the US announced that it would be able to restrict the issuance of visas for any Bangladeshi individual, believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining the democratic election process in Bangladesh.

This includes current and former Bangladeshi officials, members of pro-government and opposition political parties, and members of law enforcement, the judiciary, and security services.

The US notified the Bangladeshi government of this decision on May 3.

 
Dude stop being so cringe

USA will keep screw tight on her and soon Canada and eu will follow

If it gets worse Japan might do same. Hasina don’t have any leverage. You need to get in your head.

This might be your desperate wish but all you can do is bitch on PDF 🤣

Whilst she gets ready to continue her rule for another decade.

She is effectively a dictator who holds every single lever of power.

The United States has already imposed visa restrictions on some law enforcement members , political leaders of ruling parties and opposition, the US embassy in Dhaka said today after the state department announced starting steps to impose visa restrictions on individuals responsible undermining the democratic election process in Bangladesh.

Spokesperson of the US embassy Bryan Schiller disclosed the matter while taking to journalists but refrained from disclosing the number of people who were slapped the restriction.

“The US government started to closely monitor the situation here since the annoucemnt of the new visa policy. We’ve imposed visa restrictions on law enforcement, the ruling party, and the political opposition members,” Schiller said in replying to questions from journalists.

Journalists asked the embassy’s spokesperson whether the US government would disclose the names of the persons slapped with the visa restrictions, he said, “No, we would not disclose the names of the persons who came under the visa restrictions.”

He said the visa record is confidential in the US laws.

An hour before Schiller’s comment, the US state department website published a news release on the matter.

The press statement by US state department spokesperson Matthew Millar said, “Today, the Department of State is taking steps to impose visa restrictions on Bangladeshi individuals responsible for, or complicit in, undermining the democratic election process in Bangladesh. These individuals include members of law enforcement, the ruling party, and the political opposition.”

These persons and members of their immediate family may be found ineligible for entry into the United States. Additional persons found to have been responsible for, or complicit in, undermining the democratic election process in Bangladesh may also be found ineligible for US visas under this policy in the future. This includes current and former Bangladeshi officials, members of opposition and ruling political parties, and members of law enforcement, the judiciary, and security services,” the press statement adds.

The state department release said the United States is committed to supporting free and fair elections in Bangladesh that are carried out in a peaceful manner.

“Our actions today reflect the continued commitment of the United States to supporting Bangladesh’s goal of peacefully holding free and fair national elections, and to support those seeking to advance democracy globally,” it added.

This lilliput land imports $15 billion worth of agricultural products from you which feeds your farmers. This lilliput land is also the largest economic market for you in South Asia . India is a big country but not a big nation.

Hasina is so naive Lmao

Americans won’t listen to Indians to save her neither dumb selfies lol

USA has its own agenda and they will follow through.
Our @IndianLite does not think Hasina is that naive. I agree with him. You see, after a failed attempt to meet Biden in America, she was cursing and crying, telling us America is not the only Continent to visit.

Under her request Indian Chandrayan Moon mission has already found other Continents where she and other BAL thieves will take shelter in January 2024 with their holds of big money.

India will issue them visa. It should allow our Joy Kumar to fly with no money. All his bank money in States has been forfeited by the GoA. YouTube guys are telling this.
