The Awami League will consider engaging in a dialogue with the BNP if the opposition group withdraws all of its conditions ahead of the upcoming national election, according to the ruling party's General Secretary Obaidul Quader. "We have no interest in holding a dialogue with conditions imposed on us," he told reporters on Sunday. The road transport and bridges minister also expressed agreement with the US pre-election monitoring panel's call for meaningful dialogue between political parties to ensure free and fair elections. They later put forth several recommendations to ensure credible and participatory elections, including 'substantive dialogue' on key election issues. The government will instead focus on routine tasks, according to the road transport and bridges minister.
