Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal today said the visa policy is up to the United States.

"The decision to grant visas or not is solely at the discretion of the country. The US government has not issued any statement regarding any individual in particular," he said while speaking to reporters during an event at Satkhira Police Line on Saturday afternoon.

"They have said the visa policy may be enforced against those who obstruct fair elections or attempt to manipulate the upcoming election," the minister explained.

Regarding the ongoing road march organised by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), the home minister said the government is "not afraid of any protest."

"The government is committed to holding the election in Bangladesh as scheduled," he affirmed."
