Oikyafront to write to PM again for dialogue

Jatiya Oikyafront will again write to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina tomorrow for holding talks with the newly formed alliance to discuss over the upcoming general election.

“We will send a letter to the prime minister tomorrow morning requesting her to hold small-scale talks with us,”, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said after emerging from the meeting.

Top brass of the newly floated alliance held the meeting to device the next course of programmes to hold the next general election in light of its seven-point demand.

The meeting began around 7:00pm, a top leader of the alliance told The Daily Star.
