A resolution of a views-exchange meeting of people from different professions held at Engineers’ Institute on Saturday was attached with the letter as that meeting had a consensus about a national dialogue to resolve the current political crisis.
In the letter, Nagorik Samaj focused on the necessity of a national dialogue in context of the current political stalemate.
