Chief Adviser Prof Dr. Muhammad Yunus has invited BNP in a dialogue again on June 2.
BNP standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed informed this in a discussion in Dhaka yesterday.
“The government is continuing the formalities of talks with political parties one after another, but there is no real progress we have seen so far,” he said.
“Discussions are taking place, but nothing is being done. Real steps are needed to overcome the crisis of public trust, not just formalities,” he added.
“It seems like that if the Constitutional Reform Commission wants to change the constitution in its own way, the nation will have to agree on it,” Salahuddin said noting that “If you forcefully impose any-thing, that is not democracy, it will be another Baksal.”
“We believe in a democratic state, there will have differences of opinion. And there is no argument in favor of holding elections after December. The people of the country want elections under a neutral gov-ernment immediately,” the BNP leader said.
