No dialogue with BNP on caretaker govt,

Prime Minister's Private Industry and Investment Adviser Salman F Rahman on Wednesday said there would be no dialogue with BNP on the caretaker government system which has been abolished by the court, reports UNB.
"The election will be held as per the constitution. Dialogue will be held if BNP takes part in the next election accepting the demand (accepting constitutional provision). There will be no dialogue with the BNP on caretaker government issue," he said.
The adviser made the remarks after his meeting with visiting British Minister for International Trade Nigel Huddleston at Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) office in the city.
He said the UK wants a free, fair and neutral election and the government has strengthened the Election Commission to that end.
"The government is committed to a free and fair election. Our Election Commission is independent. The proof is that many city corporation elections are being held neutrally. National elections will be held as per the constitution," said the adviser.
He said the opposition should understand that there is no alternative other than participating in the election.
Salman said they also discussed the Rohingya issue and sought continued focus and pressure on Myanmar to resolve the crisis.
