Hasina to take decision on sitting with Khaleda Zia, says Zillur

Sunday, 5 October 2008


Awami League (AL) acting President Zillur Rahman Thursday said, the meeting between the two top leaders is no doubt a good initiative, reports BSS.
"But AL chief Sheikh Hasina, who is still under parole, herself will take decision weather she will sit with free BNP chief Khaleda Zia," Zillur said.
He made this comment while talking to newsmen at his Gulshan residence here after exchange of Eid greetings with party leaders, workers and well-wishers.
"Eid comes to all with festivity after a month-long fasting and other religious activities. No grievance could be found between one another in the holy day and it is the day to share joy among each other," he said.
Zillur alleged that a large number of people could not enjoy the holy festival with satisfaction this time due to price hike of the essential commodities. "Such problems will be removed in the coming days," he expressed his hope.
"Informally, not officially, Eid greetings were exchanged with the BNP leaders", he told newsmen when journalists raised a number of queries in this regard.
Abdur Razzak, Mukul Bose, Saber Hossain Chowdhury, Mustafa Jalal Mohiuddin, Ashim Kumar Ukil, among other party leaders, exchange Eid greetings with him.
