The US embassy in Dhaka
called on those responsible to end violence immediately and put an end
to the climate of “fear and insecurity”.
In a statement just a day after the two conflicting
parties started talking, the US embassy said they were
“encouraged”.
“…... With goodwill, the two parties can find a way to
provide the elections that the Bangladeshi people want and deserve”, the
statement said.
The statement reiterated US Assistant Secretary Nisha
Desai Biswal’s call that “violence can never be part of the democratic process
and is not acceptable, and must stop immediately”.
“The senseless violence of
past days is extremely reprehensible as innocent people, including young
children, have fallen victim to arson and bombs”.
“We believe all
parties should have space to freely and peacefully express their
views.
“The government bears responsibility to provide such space; the
opposition parties bear responsibility to use such space in a peaceful manner,”
the statement said.
The two bickering parties –ruling Awami League and
opposition BNP – continued their dialogue on Wednesday after the ice melted with
UN mediation a day before.
