Oikya Front leaders said the coalition has not come to a consensus about not going to Ganabhaban. Nagorik Oikya Convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna and Bangladesh Samajtantrik Dal leader Khalekuzzaman have said they personally are against visiting the prime minister for tea. Khalekuzzaman said: “Why do we need to go to the prime minister for tea? The prime minister can call us for discussions, but it would be fruitless if the subject was not clarified first.”Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina met with 75 parties before the elections for discussion. On Saturday, she invited the party leaders for tea on February 2 at her Ganabhaban office.
