EC delivers letter of dialogue at BNP’s locked office

Staff Reporter :
Election Commission (EC)’s invitation letter seeking dialogue with the main opposition party-the BNP has been delivered at the party’s locked central office as there was none to receive that.

On Thursday, a staff of the EC left an invitation letter addressed to BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on a chair at the gate of the party’s central office at Nayapaltan in the capital which remained locked following the grand rally on October 28.

The BNP Secretary General was sent to jail on Sunday and since then no other party leaders and activists were available on the premises of the office.

The EC in the letter letter invited the BNP to join a dialogue on Saturday to discuss the preparations for the upcoming general election.

The EC office assistant, M Mohsin, went to Nayapaltan around 10:00 am to deliver the letter.

Finding the BNP office locked from the outside, he talked to the on-duty police personnel there who told him that BNP leaders and workers were not seen coming to the office since Sunday as it remained closed following the violence during the grand rally.
