He said the BNP ignored the President’s instructions on dialogue and even the EC invited the BNP twice to join its dialogues but it did not join.

Quader also said BNP has always had a disinterest in dialogue. In fact, BNP is not willing to participate in the general elections because they (BNP leaders) know that the Awami League will come to power again under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina. So, BNP is resorting to ill tactics sensing defeat in the elections.
