Top leaders of the four party alliance have urged the government and the Election Commission to hold dialogue not only with BNP, but also with the component parties of the alliance to hold a meaningful and proper election.

BNP secretary general Khandker Delwar Hossain spoke to reporters after a meeting of the top four party leaders, with BNP chief Khaleda Zia in the chair.
 
Delwar said the alliance would demand lifting of the emergency and national elections ahead of all others in talks with the government and the EC.
 
The two-hour meeting of the alliance's top brass ended around 5.30pm.
 
Khaleda's lawyer advocate Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas told bdnews24.com the talks began around 3.30pm, at the home of journalist Shafik Rehman.
 
Until Monday evening, the meeting was scheduled to be held in the party office at Naya Paltan. The venue was shifted in an overnight decision to the private Eskaton Garden Road residence.
 
The meeting was attended by the Jamaat-e-Islami chief Motiur Rahman Nizami, Khilafat-e-Majlish chairman Maulana Mohammad Ishaque, Bangladesh Jatiya Party chairman Andalib Rahman, BNP secretary general Khandakar Delwar Hossain, Islami Oikyo Jote secretary general Abdul Latif Nizami and BJP secretary general Shamim Al Mamun.
 
The four-party leaders met for the last time immediately before emergency rule was imposed on Jan 11, 2007. A number of secretary-general level meetings took place, meanwhile, at Delwar's Nam Flats residence.
