The United States has reiterated its call for holding a free and fair election in Bangladesh.

National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby has said that they have been consistent on the need for Bangladesh to hold free and fair elections.

He told this during a media briefing at the White House on Monday (June 5). 

John Kirby made the remarks when his attention was drawn to the much-discussed letter from six congressmen to US President Joe Biden, seeking measures for a free and fair election in Bangladesh.

Recently, six US Congressmen have written to US President Joe Biden, calling for urgent actions to stop the "human rights abuses" by the Bangladesh government and "give the people of Bangladesh the best possible chance for free and fair parliamentary elections".
