Zillur for talks with parties to resolve ongoing crisis

Acting Awami League (AL) President Zillur Rahman yesterday urged the government to hold a dialogue with the political parties to resolve the present crisis stemming from campus unrest.
"We want an end to the prevailing crisis through talks," he said while talking with reporters at his Gulshan residence.
He denied the allegations against political parties about instigating the incidents that took place on Dhaka University campus last week.
"It's not justified to blame the political parties for the incident on Dhaka University campus," Zillur said.
About the arrest of the university teachers, he said the teachers community is the most respectable and honoured one in society. "I don't think that it was necessary to arrest some teachers of Dhaka and Rajshahi universities. The situation could be dealt with tolerance."
The acting AL chief demanded their immediate release and said legal actions can be taken against the teachers if they are found involved in crime after investigation.
