The Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB) has called to announce the date of the 13th National Assembly election by January 15. The party said that there is no alternative before the government. This was said by CPB leaders at the 'Dhaka Rally' at Suhrawardy Udyan on Friday (January 3) afternoon.

CPB President Shah Alam said that the public has raised questions about the purpose of the government's reform proposal. The Election Commission has been formed, it is a positive development.
Ruhin Hossain Prince, general secretary of the party said, 'There is no alternative for the interim government to announce the specific date of the election by January 15 without delay. The Interim Government must trust the people. If you want to prolong the power without doing that, various evil forces will take advantage.
Therefore, Prince called for announcing the specific date of the election, reducing the prices of daily commodities and ensuring the safety of people's life and property.
The interim government wants to prolong the power by various strategies – CPB general secretary complained. He said, 'If someone thinks that I have reversed a little, I have been in power for a long time. Can you stay? He wants to prolong his power by using various tricks. We want to say – the people could not vote, the reign of fear was established. The prices of goods had gone up, people were angry because of this. Hasina was deported for this. And if you can't lower the price of the item by talking about reformation tablets. Can't give peace in public life. Listen to the World Bank-IMF. Can't reduce oil price, gas price. Increase the suffering of people by imposing new VAT. Then you are on the same path.'
Former president of CPB Mujahidul Islam Salim said, 'Awami League has tarnished the history of the liberation war. Awami statement of liberation war is false and ugly. They used it for looting. I want the grave of Awami League's speech. But if someone wants to bury the liberation war for that reason, then remember that we submitted weapons, not training.'
He said, 'Jamaat has entered the field. On December 16, 1971, the instrument of surrender was signed – in which the surrenderers wrote, 'We are the Pakistan Army and the auxiliary forces – political auxiliary forces including Razakar, Albadar, Jamaat.'
It was informed from the gathering that CPB will exchange views with various political parties, organizations and individuals from January 10 to build national unity. From 21st to 27th January, the nationwide 'March for Democracy' program will be held. At least a thousand kilometers of the country will be marched during this time.
