And BD is no democracy, the vote results are regularly stolen by the BAL party, and it has not yet established a form of governance, let alone a good one.

Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen today said the US has possibly invited "weak democracies" to its Democracy Summit in its first phase, which is why it did not invite Bangladesh.
"Bangladesh has a stable democracy… a very transparent democracy. People can vote in a fair and free manner," he told reporters after a discussion on climate change at Dhaka University today.
"In our country, all people can vote. When there's a will, there's a way. From that perspective, we are much better," he said.
US President Joe Biden's Democracy Summit is scheduled for December 9 and 10. While Bangladesh has been excluded from the list of the 110 invitees, its neighbours India, Pakistan and Nepal made it to the list of the summit -- to be held virtually.
Foreign Minister Momen, however, said that it was the responsibility of the US on what parameters they used to choose the countries.
He said he does not agree that Bangladesh has been excluded. "They (US) will hold the summit in two phases -- this year and next year. In the first phase, some countries will join. Perhaps, we'll be invited to the second phase."
We should focus on our democracy, the foreign minister said. "We won't do it on the basis of others' advice... We work for the welfare of the people."
He also commented that rather, the US democracy, which is almost 250 years old, is in peril.
"You saw what happened in the US a few days back," Momen said.

@Bilal9 bhai ,actually some people sometimes lose temper easily without any provocation. Emon mejaj harale mone hoy tader uchit kisudiner jonno keyboard theke haat soriye rakha.
Keu keu ekhane democracy niye khub sorob , tobe tara nijerai khub olpotei mejaj haray , which is very contradictory to democracy.
Perhaps that's the main reason Bangladesh is not yet ready for democracy!
Amader sobar uchit ki bolsi ar ki korsi star dike nojor ratha.
Without Provocation mejaj haranota ar zai hok democracy hote pare na.
Even no one should lose temper in such high degree even with provocation.
Bangla language a amra zotoi rege zai na keno , "Apni" Sara sombodhon korte pari na zodi na sei lok ti tar khub kaser hoy . Eta Ekta sadharon vodrota.
Ei case e ozothai ( without provocation)mejaj hariye "Tui" te neme zaoa hoyese , which is very much unacceptable in civil society!
Amra kotota sovvo eta amader behaviour proman korbe, babohar bongsher porichoy eta sobar mone rakha dorkar!

US invites Taiwan to its democracy summit, angering China
The Biden administration has invited Taiwan to its 'Summit for Democracy' next month, according to a list of participants published on Tuesday, a move that infuriated China, which views the democratically governed island as its territory, reports Reuters. The first-of-its-kind gathering is a test
My balls. BD has no democracy. And America did not invite this autocratic country to the summit.
I can guess how happy would have been Hasina Bibi had America tagged BD as a democratic country.

No, China never asks other countries to choose sides in diplomacy.
Diplomatic power is Pakistan's sovereignty, and we respect the sovereignty of any country.

Well I'm really happy to know that we are strongest democracy in this world.
Mr. Momen should do some stand-up routines, there are plenty of comedy clubs in Dhaka now. If he can stand-up that is. Weight has shifted to the mid-section.
Joke-comment of the year.

Actually this was the reason for the summit. The very reason.

Highlights:
Bangladesh is not among the 110 countries which have been invited to the US President Joe Biden's virtual Summit for Democracy, according to a list disclosed by the White House.
- India, Pakistan, Nepal have been invited
- Afghanistan, Sri Lanka have been excluded
- China, Turkey and Russia were missing from the list
Among the South Asian countries, India, Pakistan and Nepal have been invited whereas Afghanistan and Sri Lanka could not make it to the list.
The summit, which is going to be held on December 9-10, has invited Taiwan which is likely to increase tension between US and China.
However, China, Turkey and Russia were missing from the list.
Among the countries of the Middle East, only Israel and Iraq will take place in the online conference.
Traditional Arab allies of the US — Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, are not invited, reports Firstpost.
Biden invited Brazil even though its far right president, Jair Bolsonaro has been criticised as having an authoritarian bent and was a firm supporter of Donald Trump.
In Europe, Poland was invited to the summit despite persistent tension with the European Union over its human rights record. Hungary, led by hardline nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, was not invited.
In Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa, Nigeria and Niger are among the countries on the list.
In announcing the summit back in August, the White House said the meeting would "galvanise commitments and initiatives across three principal themes: defending against authoritarianism, fighting corruption, and promoting respect for human rights."
