PM to hold second phase dialogue with Oikya Front Nov 7

DHAKA, Nov 4, 2018 (BSS)- The second phase dialogue between the Awami League-led 14-party alliance and Jatiya Oikya Front (JOF) will be held on November 7.

“As per a proposal of JOF top leader Dr Kamal Hossain, the second phase talks between the two alliances will take place at small group at the Prime Minister’s official Ganabhaban residence at 11am on November 7,” Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader told reporters after a meeting of the 14-party alliance at Ganabhaban tonight.

Quader, also the Road Transport and Bridges Minister, said he received a letter on holding dialogue again from Dr Kamal and handed over it to the prime minister during the ECNEC meeting today.

“Our leader has agreed to hold the dialogue as she previously said her door is always open for all,” the AL general secretary said.

In this connection, he said there will be no scope for holding talks with anybody after November 7. “Within this time, we will cover all the dialogues as 85 political parties have so far showed their interest to hold talks with us,” he said.

Quader said the 14-party has already held dialogues with the JOF and Jukto Front.

“The dialogue with Jatiya Party will be held tomorrow and there are Left Democratic Alliance and other Islamic parties in which talks will be held,” he said.

“In total, we’ll accommodate as much as possible till November 7,” Quader added.
