Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Monday said BNP is spreading confusion over dialogue issue as they don't believe in democratic norms.
"The President has convened the dialogue over forming the Election Commission where different political parties are taking part in it. I hope that BNP will also take part in the dialogue and they can tell their objection to the President. But it is not desirable to show thumbs down to the dialogue," he said.
The minister stated this replying to a query of reporters at his secretariat office in the capital.
Hasan said dialogue is needed in the politics and the democracy and politics could not move ahead without discussion. "In fact, BNP doesn't believe in democratic norms and they want to destroy the democracy. For this, they are talking nonsense about the dialogue issue and spreading different confusions," he added.
Replying to another query over Union Parishad (UP) polls, the minister said it is the Awami League (AL) which is the alternative to the party (AL). The polls are being held with political party symbols for the second time, he added.
