Information and Broadcasting Minister and Awami League (AL) Joint General Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud today (July 7) said BNP was not called for holding any dialogue.

He said, replying to a query of reporters at his official residence in the city's Minto Road.

"A recent statement of BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir gives the impression that we have called them for a dialogue. But they were not called for dialogues," said Hasan.
 
The minister reaffirmed that there is no scope of holding any dialogue on caretaker government issue. 

Dr Hasan said the next general elections will be held as per the constitution of Bangladesh and the incumbent government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will act as the polls-time government. BNP must accept the reality, he added.
