AL says no to adviser Zillur's proposal for unofficial talks

Staff Correspondent
The Awami League (AL) yesterday turned down an adviser’s proposal for unofficial talks as the party decided not to entertain any sorts of talks with the government without formal meeting proposal
The decision of the party prompted AL Acting President Zillur Rahman yesterday to reject Education and Commerce Adviser Hossain Zillur Rahman's proposal over telephone for holding talks with the government at 5:00pm at State Guest House Padma. The adviser made the phone call to the AL acting president at noon yesterday.
The AL acting president also informed the adviser of his parry decision not to hold any talks with the government without a written proposal.
Earlier, on Wednesday night. AL Acting General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam had conveyed the decision of the party to the commerce adviser following a meeting of the AL presidium - the highest policy making body of the party.
Commenting on the refusal of talks with the government, AL Acting President Zillur Rahman told reporters at his Gulshan residence in the capital, "I told the adviser that we could not hold any dialogue on the basis of verbal invitation as it creates many problems in the party."
"We are keen on taking part in any kind of dialogue -- official or unofficial. However, according to the party decision, we won't participate in any dialogue without a formal letter," he added.
Meanwhile, leaders of Sirajdikhan upazila unit of AL in Munshiganj yesterday gathered at the AL acting president's house and handed over Tk 1 lakh to him for the legal battle to free detained AL President Sheikh Hasina.
AL leaders Motia Chowdhury, Tofail Ahmed, Abdul Mannan, Dr Dipu Moni, Sagufta Yasmin Emily and Sirajdikhan upazila unit President Mohiuddin Ahmed and its General Secretary Nazmul Alam Khan were present among others at the programme.
AL chief Sheikh Hasina was again taken to Square Hospital in the city yesterday with complaints of ear pain. Four physicians of the hospital -- Dr Sahil Mahmud, Dr Shah Alam, Dr Mizan and Dr Sanwar -- examined her ears and conducted check-up for other ailments. The doctors prescribed her eardrops and antibiotics.
Hasina was later taken back to the special jail located on the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban premises.
Major Shamsul Haider Siddiqui, deputy inspector general of prisons, told The Daily Star that there was nothing to be worried about the former primier's physical condition and she would be taken to the hospital again for further check-ups in three to four days.
