Yunus to hold dialogue with political parties on Wednesday

Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus is set to hold a dialogue with leaders of major political parties on Wednesday afternoon to forge national unity.

“The dialogue will begin at the Foreign Service Academy at 4pm”, Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder told BSS.

Earlier, while speaking at a press briefing at the Foreign Service Academy on Tuesday, Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said Yunus has also invited leaders of religious groups to join a dialogue with him on Thursday.

"The main aim of the two meetings is forging national unity. He (the chief adviser) will call for national unity," Alam added.

The chief adviser had a meeting with leaders of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement at the State Guest House Jamuna on Tuesday night.

About the importance of national unity, the press secretary said the unity is urgent now as the Indian media is deliberately spreading misinformation targeting Bangladesh.

"We must resist the misinformation campaign together," he added.
