CPB to put up 56 candidates in elections

The meeting also reviewed the activities of the party's possible candidates in their constituencies, and called upon all concerned to play a greater role in waging a tougher movement against the government.

The party also called for realising its 53-point demand in order to ensure a free and fair election, said a press release.

The meeting observed that without radical reforms of the election process, the elections would turn out to be a mere competition among the millionaires.

The CPB also condemned Israel for its killing spree with the "help of the USA".
