Dhaka, June 11 -- Nagorik Coalition, a platform advocating for democratic reforms in the state structure, has termed the upcoming meeting between Chief Adviser Yunus and BNP's Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman a "hopeful development" on Wednesday.

In a press release, the platform said that a crisis is deepening due to the firm stance of the BNP and several other political parties against the proposed roadmap for April elections and their demand for polls to be held in December.

"This political deadlock is expected to escalate further after the Eid holidays," it warned.

It added that there are clear signs of conspiracies, both domestic and international, being orchestrated to destabilise Bangladesh.
