Ivy met Syed Ashraf, also a presidium member of Bangladesh Awami League (AL), around 11:00am at his official residence at Bailey Road in the capital.
An AL leader who was present during the meeting told the Prothom Alo that Ashraf and Ivy talked in a cordial atmosphere for over half an hour.
He said during the talks Ivy requested Ashraf to keep her in his thoughts.
Asked about the meeting, Ivy told the Prothom Alo that she went to the Ashraf residence just to make a courtesy call on him.
