Responding to reporters after a three-hour dialogue at the Ganabhaban, he said: “The talks were not good enough to reach a solution.”

Jatiya Oikya Front leaders will discuss the issue with each other and will formally react to the dialogue, said Manna. 

After the end of the dialogue, no alliance leaders agreed to comment on the outcome of the talks.

Awami League leader Tofail Ahmed told reporters: "They made some statements which are contradictory and conflicting with the constitution and are not acceptable. We have no objection if they want to sit again on any issue after the announcement of the election schedule.”

Another Awami League leader, Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, said the two sides remained miles apart on the demands.

“No consensus could be reached. The Oikya Front called for a fresh round of talks. No decision has been made about this.”
