People want unconditional Hasina-Khaleda talks: Obaidul

Communications Minister Obaidul Quader on Friday said country’s
people want to see an open and unconditional dialogue between Awami
League President Sheikh Hasina and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.
“Country’s people don’t want to see a violent movement as the
opposition is causing destruction to the country through enforcing
hartals and killing people. So, they want to see open and
unconditional talks between the two leaders,” he said while speaking
at a programme at Kalamunshi Bazar in his constituency Kabirhat.
Observing that the opposition has become alienated from people by
enforcing programmes like hartals, Obaidul said this is not good for
any political party. He also urged them to sit in dialogue to ensure
the holding of the next general election with the participation of all
political parties. – UNB
