Senior leaders of the ruling Awami League, which will organize the dialogue, have given noncommittal and sometimes conflicting messages about the meeting. On the other hand, Prime Minister’s Political Adviser HT Imam said the prime minister will host another round of discussions with the parties who attended the previous dialogue. There is no reason to call it a dialogue, but many discussions can take place when political parties come to the same platform. We will only participate in a dialogue if its agenda includes cancelling the 11th general election,” BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said on Tuesday. Dr Kamal further said he expects a positive outcome for the people of the country if dialogues are held with the prime minister.
