Zillur for alliance expansion 

Staff Correspondent

The acting Awami League president, Zillur Rahman, on Friday said his party planned to incorporate all the pro-independence political parties into the AL-led alliance aiming at participation in general elections together.

The Awami League will begin talks with the components of the alliance on Sunday to persuade them into placing identical proposals at the proposed dialogues between the government and political parties and to extend the alliance for polls.

We will begin discussions with the 14-party alliance partners on Sunday and initiate an extended grand alliance with pro-independence and democratic political parties, Zillur told reporters at his house at Gulshan.

People will not accept any alternative to power handover without elections, he said. Elections should be held earlier than the time laid out in the Election Commission roadmap.

Referring the chief election commissioners comment that elections schedule could not be announced before September, Zillur said it would not be possible to hold election by December if the schedule is not announced earlier. He demanded announcement of election schedule before September.

Zillur received donation from the partys farmers front Krishak League and the Faridpur unit Awami League to the partys relief fund in separate programmes.

The party president, Sheikh Hasina, now detained in jail, will be released through legal battle, Zillur hoped. The party will, otherwise, begin a movement for her release.

The partys agriculture affair secretary Abdur Razzak and organising secretary Abdul Mannan, Krishak League president Mirza A Zalil and general secretary Motahar Hossain Mollah and Faridpur unit president Kazi Zainul Abedin and general secretary Hasibul Hasan Lablu also spoke on the occasions.
