Download PDF Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed is expected to address the nation today in which he will give specific directives on lifting the state of emergency and restriction on indoor politics and announce a schedule for the much-talked-about political dialogue.
In his speech, the chief adviser will also provide detailed directions about creating a climate of trust among all, holding a meaningful general election and ensuring qualitative changes to politics, Commerce Adviser Hossain Zillur Rahman told reporters at the Secretariat yesterday.
As reporters insisted for a specific date of the CA’s address, he said, “I told you earlier that the chief adviser will address the nation in a week and the time is ending tomorrow. I believe you are good at mathematics.”
After the chief adviser announces the date of the political dialogue, the political parties will be formally invited.
“The dialogue will take place after the chief adviser’s speech. Invitation letters will be sent to political parties from the chief adviser’s office,” Communications Adviser Ghulam Quader told the reporters.
Asked whether the CA would address the nation today, he replied: “There is a strong possibility.”
The CA will convey what the government is thinking about lifting the state of emergency and restriction on indoor politics, the communications adviser said replying to a query.
Inquired about sending representatives to Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina, Quader said that he has no knowledge of the matter.
Neither of the two advisers gave any clear answer when asked about the release of the two former prime ministers as demanded by their parties.
When asked whether an environment of trust can be created keeping the two leaders behind bars, Zillur Rahman expressed hope that everything will be done through discussions. “We’ll advance step by step through discussions.”
