Veteran lawyer Barrister Rafique Ul Haque has termed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s address to the nation as positive and urged the BNP to hold talks.
“Prime Minister’s address has solved 95 percent of the problem. Now BNP should accept the offer for talks,” he said in an immediate reaction on Friday.
In her address to the nation in the evening, Sheikh Hasina proposed for an all-party interim government to conduct the forthcoming 10th national election.

She also called upon the BNP-led opposition to select their representatives and name them for joining the interim government.
Rafique Ul Haque, who was the Attorney General during Hussein Muhammd Ershad’s military rule, said, “The Prime Minister has called for an all-party government. Now the ways to work it out should emerge from discussion.”
“It’s a very good proposal. Now the two [Sheikh Hasina and BNP chief Khaleda Zia] will have to execute it. How democracy will progress will have to be determined.”
He also called for talks to discuss distribution of portfolios of the all-party government.
“It should be finalised who from the opposition will get into the Cabinet and who will get which portfolio. Also, whether Ershad’s people will be a part of that Cabinet should be settled. Because if it’s an all-party body, then Ershad [Jatiya Party Chairman Hussein Muhammd Ershad] also comes into account.”
Rafique said the political impasse over the polls-time government was 95 percent resolved by Sheikh Hasina’s speech. “The rest will have to be sorted out through discussion. I’m always optimistic. I don’t think of anything negative.”

DESPITE NATIONWIDE PROTEST (78% AGAINST)WHY A REJECTED, ABANDONED TIMID HASINA WANTS TO HELD ELECTION UNDER HER PRIME MINISTERSHIP AFTER LOSING 7 SUCCESSIVE MAYORAL ELECTION NATIONWIDE & ONE AFTER ANOTHER?
Otherwise she would be arrested and tried in an open court for committing genocide, mass murder of Muslim ulema & Islamic students, declaring war on Islam by the pretext of fighting a WAR AGAINST TERROR to stay in power by the blessings & backing of her non-Muslim foreign mentors & trying to de-Islamize this country with taxpayers expense and abusing the power politicising every state institution and using them as political tool to exterminate all political and religious opponents.
Mr. AL-Hilal… are you on drugs?
Mr. Q, you seem to be an associate of the swindlers who perhaps think that everyone in this country is stupid. While the PM calls for a so-called all-party govt, her sycophants beat their drum that Sk. Hasina will lead that govt and no discussion can be held on that issue. Then what does the beguiling proposal of ‘all-party govt’ mean? Does it take a Newton to understand the trick? You may be fooled but not all. About respected Barrister R. Haque, how can he say that keeping the present PM on the helm, and that point being absolutely non-negotiable, the 18-party alliance will swallow the bait? Has his judgement been vitiated in the meantime? We feel frustrated.
