Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader raised the question, where is the time for dialogue after the announcement of the schedule? Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Habibul Awal raised this question in a press briefing organized to respond to the announcement of the schedule for the 12th National Assembly elections on Wednesday evening.

The CEC announced the schedule through an address to the nation. There he urged the political parties to avoid conflict and find a solution. He said, "Reconciliation and solution through dialogue avoiding mutual revenge, mistrust and mistrust is not impossible."

Obaidul Quader said in response to a question about the CEC's statement, "Before the election, the schedule has been announced. At this time, when will you dialogue with more than one hundred groups in Bangladesh? When will the election be held?' He also commented that US Assistant Secretary of State Donald Lu and the CEC dialogue are not the same.

Awami League general secretary Quader said in response to several questions regarding BNP's rejection of the schedule and the strike program in the briefing, "The strike has become dangerous now." It is a rusty tool. They have no power to stop the train that has left. But what do we do if they do not get on the train? The electoral train waits for no one. When the train leaves, it does not stop. Will not stop. The election is according to the constitution, what alternative do we have?'

In response to a question about the position of the Jatiya Party, Obaidul Quader said, "Whether the Jatiya Party will come to the election or not or who will go with whom, it is a matter of their decision. It will take more time to hear the last thing about the National Party. Wait a little, there is a lot of news inside.'
