Awami League leader Tofail Ahmed has ruled out any possibility of talks with the BNP to pave the way for a fresh election in Bangladesh.
“We are not talking about any dialogue. Rather, it is the foreigners who are talking about this,” he said.
Awami League General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam, who is also the LGRD Minister, had on Tuesday said BNP chief Khaleda Zia would not be able to gain power by lobbying with foreign countries.
The Awami League, for the second time in a row, has come to power with a clear three-fourths majority in the parliamentary elections held on Jan 5.
“A government is elected for five years; so, this government will remain in power for five years,” said Tofail Ahmed, the Commerce Minister of the new government.
Khaleda on Monday urged the government to take initiatives to start a dialogue in order to hold fresh elections.-bdnews24.com
