Dhaka, Oct. 4 -- Information and Broadcasting Minister Hasan Mahmud has said that foreign diplomats are free to give advice on elections as long as they don't interfere in the country's internal affairs and cross diplomatic etiquettes.

The minister said this while exchanging views with journalists after receiving the annual report of Bangladesh Press Council at the ministry's meeting room on Monday, reports UNB.

Hasan said,"The foreign diplomats can talk to any political party of the country about participatory elections. They can even talk to any particular political party in private to avoid conflicts during the time of elections. The government has no problem with that as we also want transparent and participatory elections."
