Dhaka: A 22-member delegation of Sammilito Jatiya Jote led by Jatiya Party chairman HM Ershad sat in a dialogue with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at Ganobhaban on Monday evening in a bid to reach a consensus over holding the next general election in a fair and credible manner, reports the UNB.

The dialogue between Hasina-led 14 party alliance and Sammilito Jatiya Jote began at 7:30 pm.

Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday night invited Jatiya Party to join the talks.

Earlier, Ershad sent a letter to Sheikh Hasina seeking dialogue with her party over the upcoming general election.

On November 1, a 23-member delegation of 14-party, led by Sheikh Hasina, sat in talks at Ganobhaban with Dr Kamal Hossain-led 20-member Oikyafront team.

After the meeting, Oikyafront leaders said they placed their seven-point demand before Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina but did not find any specific solution except some good words about rallies and meetings.

Sheikh Hasina invited the Oikyafront leaders to join the dialogue on October 29 following a letter sent to her by Dr Kamal Hossain on behalf of the alliance, seeking talks on election issues.
