Are you open to another election if the opposition comes around?
"We are certainly open to discussions but have two conditions. First, there can be absolutely no violence whatsoever.
"Second, they have to break their alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami, which is a party of war criminals that opposed our liberation and we believe is a terrorist organization. This time the onus is completely on the BNP," he said.
He, however, added that there is "absolutely no reason for us to hold early elections and we have a constitutional mandate for five years".
Reminsicing about his days in India, Wazed said that at Nainital he was in "a very strict missionary boarding school, very regimented and disciplined. It taught me a lot of self-discipline which has served me well".
"Kodaikanal was a much more relaxed, easy place after that. The educational standard was very high and I'm very competitive by nature so it suited me well. In Bangalore I was in college and living on independently for the first time. That was quite challenging at first, living on your own in a big city when you are 18."
