Donald Lu sent the letter to the three major political parties – Awami League, BNP and Jatiya Party.
On receiving the letter, Obaidul Quader spoke to journalists at the Secretariat. He said, “No political party following democracy can say that they do not want any talks. But there is an opportune time. The election program is going to be announced today. When will you talk?”
Then a journalist asked him whether there is any scope for organizing a dialogue in the current context? In response, the leader of the ruling party said, “There is no scope for talks now.”
