Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader has said the issue of seat-sharing did not come up for discussion in the meeting with Jatiya Party, reports UNB.
He said apart from seat-sharing issue, prevention of anti-election activities like sabotage and attacks also got priority in the meeting.
"We discussed how the election-oriented parties can prevent anti-polls activities like sabotage and attacks in a united way to make the election free, fair and peaceful," he said.
The AL leader came up with the remarks while speaking at a press briefing at the party president's Dhanmondi office in the city on Thursday.
"BNP is becoming desperate to foil the election as it is approaching. Their level of sabotage may be more extensive. The horrific picture of sabotage, secret attacks is setting records. Until yesterday (Wednesday), 600 cars were vandalised and 10 trains were set on fire," he added.
Regarding the new condition of the US buyer in the garment sector, Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said the United States will not be able to do anything unilaterally even if it wants. "Its friends in Europe, Asia and the Pacific are no longer in favour of taking any extreme decision on Bangladesh."
"We are not friendless in international arena. They know how Sheikh Hasina is holding election to maintain constitutional continuity in Bangladesh and prevent chaos in the country. The government and the opposition will come through the people's vote," he added.
Awami League Presidium Member Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Joint General Secretaries Mahbubul Alam Hanif and AFM Bahauddin Nasim, among others, were present at the press briefing.
