BKA at the talks put forward a 30-point demand that includes formulation of an electoral policy. They demanded that the policy would have to ensure a free, fair, meaningful and acceptable election while barring the agnostics, identified corruptionists, black money holders, murderers, terrorists, convicts and bankrupts from participating in the elections.

They also proposed increasing parliamentary seats in accordance with the rising population in the country.

Zafrullah said handing over the responsibility of the country's education to any NGO would be disastrous. "We also urged the government [to take a stand] against foreign interference in our internal affairs," he added.

Commenting on bringing BNP to the dialogue, Commerce and Education Adviser Hossain Zillur Rahman, one of the participants on the government side, told journalists that the government, if necessary, would send a fresh invitation letter to the BNP. "We are confident that BNP will join the dialogue."
