Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus is going to hold dialogues with the main political parties, students and religious leaders to call for 'national unity' amidst the ongoing situation of the country.

As part of the dialogues, the chief adviser will meet the country's major political parties and student leaders tomorrow (4 December), Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said today. 

The following day (5 December), the CA will sit with religious leaders of the country on the same issue.

'The goal of these meetings is for the CA to call for national unity,' Shafiqul said at a press briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital.

Yesterday, various protest programmes were organised in the country, including the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement's procession at Dhaka University, as well as Jahangirnagar University, voicing against the attack on the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala.

A group of people brought out a torch procession near the Indian High Commission in the capital's Gulshan area.

The attack on the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission took place this noon as thousands of people took out a massive rally in the Tripura capital to protest the arrest of Iskcon leader Chinmoy Krishna Das, demand his immediate release.

Meanwhile, all visa and consular services at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala will remain suspended.

India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had said the breach of premises at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission is "deeply regrettable".

Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pranay Verma today (3 December) said his country really wants to build a constant, stable, and constructive relationship with Bangladesh.
