DHAKA: Vice Chair of the UK All Party Parliamentary Group Nick De Bois MP said that it would be a gross failure for the politicians if people of Bangladesh are not given a genuine free and fair choice in the general polls.

He came up with the disclosure while addressing a press conference city’s Sonargaon Hotel on Monday.

“It’s the duty of politicians to give people a choice, a fair and free choice otherwise it would be a gross failure,” he said.
 
Anne Main, Chair of the APPG on Bangladesh and Conservative Member of Parliament for St Albans, Jonathan Reynolds, Labour (Co-operative) Member of Parliament for Staylbridge and Hyde, Simon Danzcuk, Labour Member of Parliament for Rochdale were present, among others in the press conference.

Anne Main said they will report back to the UK parliament on the outcome of their visit here on RMG industry by October. “I believe we’ll create something.”

The team came here on Friday and is expected to leave on Tuesday.
