Dialogue depends on political parties, not EC: Quader

Shawdesh desk:

The ruling Awami League general secretary Obiadul Quader on Thursday said that the dialogue among political parties depended on them and it was not a matter of the Election Commission.

Quader said this while replying to a question to a reporter after holding meeting with the United States ambassador to Bangladesh Peter Haas at the party office at Bangabandhu Avenue in Dhaka.

‘AL and the US both want free, fair and peaceful election. Our demand is the same. The government is committed to holding a fair election,’ said Quader.

He said that the Awami League always believed in democratic process.

The US ambassador held the meeting with the Awami League leaders a day after the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir held meeting with the envoys of 25 countries, including the US and the United Kingdom.
