It has even warned of making the protests more intense and participatory.

The meeting also dubbed the on-going talks with the government just a drama, claiming the government was not serious about demands of the Front.

The government should be more sensitive for meaningful and result-oriented talks, according to the Front.

Talks inconclusive again
