Reconciliation with AL possible, but responsibility must be acknowledged: Zahed
Prime Minister’s Information Adviser Zahed Ur Rahman on Tuesday said political reconciliation with Awami League is not impossible but the party itself must come forward by acknowledging its responsibility to initiate such a process.
He made the remarks while responding to questions from reporters at a press briefing at Secretariat.
Zahed said many people in the country still support Awami League and they are citizens of Bangladesh.
“Taking an initiative for reconciliation with the active activists and supporters of Awami League is not a bad idea. Rather, it would be good if such an initiative was taken,” he said.
He also stressed the need to establish the fundamental basis for any reconciliation before starting the process.
“If someone in the middle wants reconciliation and thinks it is a good initiative, then I also think it is a good idea. They should reach out to Awami League. The basic ground for initiating reconciliation needs to be established through discussions with the party’s top leadership. If that is ensured, the matter can be discussed.”
He also said merely initiating talks would not be enough, as the basic conditions and respective positions of the parties involved must be made clear, reports UNB.
If Awami League comes forward on that basis, reconciliation can be discussed, Zahed said.
