Awami League (AL) Publicity and Publication Affairs Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud was present as the chief guest. While speaking Hasan said BNP joined dialogue with the Election Commission (EC) as the party accepted the EC. Thanking BNP for joining dialogue with the EC, Hasan said BNP leaders seemed in a happy mood as they emerged from the dialogue though few days ago BNP raised question over the capability of EC and CEC. Criticizing BNP’s proposals to the EC, he said BNP’s proposal to dissolve the parliament before election is unconstitutional.
