DHAKA, Dec 12 (NNN-BSS) – The American-style democracy can’t be considered as a “beacon of democracy” for the world, a Bangladeshi political veteran has recently said.
The American-style democracy did not meet local conditions to sustain in other countries, said Dilip Barua, general secretary of the Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist-Leninist), during an interview.
Commenting on the so-called “Summit for Democracy” led by the United States, Barua pointed out that, U.S. military operations in many countries have led to the deaths of thousands of people and displaced tens of millions of others, in the past decades.
“At least this America has no right to hold a summit on democracy,” he said, noting that the U.S. should better look into its own democracy, which is not functioning properly.
“What we expect from U.S. is that, it leaves other countries alone and let them decide for their own,” said the party leader, adding that, the “U.S. should no more sell its democratic ideas to other countries.”– NNN-BSS
