Awami League on Tuesday sent separate letters to chief adviser’s office and Election Commission seeking schedules for another round of talks to get resolved a number of issues mainly relating to polls.

   Party leaders Abdul Mannan Khan, Asim Kumar Ukil and ABM Mozammel Hoq carried the letters, signed by Syed Ashraful Islam, to both offices Tuesday, seeking specific date and time for the talks.

      The government is still sticking to its guns over holding the upazila polls before the parliamentary elections pledged in December, despite major political parties’ strong opposition to the idea of holding any election before the national polls.
