Tensions continue to persist as the main political parties stick to their guns, creating a sense of uncertainty among the people in general.
Though several advisers told media that Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus did not mention anything about quitting from his post as reported on Friday, the council of advisers in a statement on Saturday said that if they faced obstruction, they might take ‘necessary decisions’.
Hectic efforts continued throughout the day on Saturday to dispel the uneasiness in the political arena as the Chief Adviser met separately with BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, and the NCP.
But the outcome of these meetings shows that these parties are wide apart on issues related to election roadmap, with BNP demanding general elections by December and resignation of national security adviser Khalilur Rahman and two advisers of the interim government picked from students who participated in the July uprising.
On the other hand, Jamaat and NCP stressed that they had no objection if election is held by June next year.বিস্তারিত
