Dr Kamal for AL- BNP talks

Ganaforum chief Kamal Hossain has asserted that "effective democracy" cannot be established by merely organising elections regularly.The ruling Awami League (AL) claims the Jan 5 polls were 'necessary to maintain the spirit of democracy'.
AL leader Suranjit Sengupta claimed there was a chance of another takeover like that of Jan 11, 2007.
The BNP boycotted the elections and has since been demanding a snap poll under a 'neutral body'. Hossain on Saturday said: "Democratic institutions are a must for institutional democracy."
BNP leader Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury alleged there was "no room for democracy to flourish in Bangladesh ". Hossain advocated AL-BNP talks but Sengupta snubbed it. "There can be no dialogue between anti-liberation and pro-liberation forces," he said, according to a news agency.
