According to government sources, Awami League and its allies from the 14-party alliance, who were ousted in a student-led mass uprising, will not be invited to the dialogue.

The Jatiya Party has not been invited either, and no decision has been made regarding their participation.

After the Durga Puja, the Chief Advisor will again sit for dialogue next Saturday.

Sources say that discussions with Gana Odhikar Parishad and the Amar Bangladesh Party (ABP) may take place on the Saturday after that.
