Suggestions from parties to be placed at council of advisers

The council of advisers will be presented a report containing suggestions made during informal talks with political parties.
"We're getting good suggestions during the pre-dialogue meetings. After finishing the informal meetings, we will submit a complete resolution in the form of a report before the chief adviser and the council of advisers," Hossain Zillur Rahman, the commerce and education adviser, told reporters yesterday.
The pre-dialogue talks are going on with a few more political parties yet to attend, the adviser said adding that the exact timeframe for the commencement of the proposed formal dialogues cannot be confirmed yet since the preparatory work still needs to be completed.
Zillur made the comments while talking to reporters at housing and public works ministry following a dialogue preparatory meeting with Communications Adviser Maj Gen (retd) Ghulam Quader and LGRD Adviser Anwarul Iqbal.
Asked whether the advisers involved in the pre-dialogue talks with political parties encountered any impediment during the talks, Zillur replied in the negative.
Responding to a query about the possibility of talks with members of civil society as well, the adviser, without elaborating, said they would hold discussions with all the stakeholders.
Yesterday's pre-scheduled informal talks with the BNP faction loyal to Khaleda Zia could not be held due to an unscheduled meeting of the council of advisers, Zillur said.
