A delegation of Awami League did not join it in London to attend a dialogue program on human rights situation and political crisis in Bangladesh.
Explaining why the Awami League had boycotted the last moment, one of the advisers of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said. Mashiur Rahman said that it was only after the British Parliament did not know any dialogue - they boycotted it.
A delegation led by Mr. Rahman went to London to attend the event. Among others, Prime Minister's Advisor Gowher Rizvi and former Foreign Minister Dr. Dipu Moni were among those present.
BNP delegation from Bangladesh also participated in it and the team was led by its national standing committee member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury.
Responding to a question on why they did not respond to the invitation of Lord Alexander Karlil, the member of the House of Lords in London last Tuesday, Mashiur said, "In London, I came to know that it was a personal initiative of Karl, this is the reason".
He said that if Joint Committee was in the initiative, then they would take part.
In this dialogue, there was the talk of human rights situation in Bangladesh and representatives of organizations such as Human Rights Watch were present, did they not attend the program to avoid them?
Responding to such a question, Mr. Rahman said, "The discussion of a person is not relevant to us, the committee can discuss it."
The meeting was discussed about the political situation in Bangladesh and the upcoming election, and the BNP delegation said that if elections are under Sheikh Hasina they can influence it. In this regard, Mashiur Rahman said in the constitution how can an election be selected.
All energy is going to the election commission at some stage in the election, so there may be no scope to head beyond the Constitution.
On the other hand, BNP leader Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury in London said at a press conference that the Awami League has no mysterious presence in the seminar of the House of Lords.
Although Mr. Mushir said that the House of Lords did not have the ceremony, it was a personal meeting discussion meeting.
Concerned about the inauguration of the seminar on Bangladesh, the Independent member of the House of Lords, Alexander Charles Carlyle
