AL is now in power and it is their responsibility to ensure public safety and find a path towards reconciliation. When a company does bad regardless of whatever the market situation is, it is ultimately the CEO and the management that has to own up and take responsibility. A government is no different and therefore AL/prime minister must make the first move to bring opposition into dialogues. If there is a sincere effort to rebuild burnt bridges from AL, BNP would have to respond positively to it because a) they really do not have a high degree of public support b) at the moment they are taking in a lot of casualties in order to continue fighting on the street instead of the parliament

Correct me if I am wrong but the main means of direct interface is through parliament. If the main opposition doesn't fulfill this then there is bound to be a breakdown in communication and one could even question their right to calling hartals and perhaps even standing in elections?
(This is not a dig only at BNP/JI as AL were guilty of this when the former were in power)
