Leaders of Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB) yesterday at a rally demanded reform of the electoral system to make it free from monetary game, muscular power, communal propaganda and administrative conspiracy.

Appointing the partisan people to make the voter list and cancelling the previous voter list are part of a blue print of the alliance government to cling to power, they said.

CPB leaders organised the rally at the city's Hazaribagh Tannery crossing demanding withdrawal of the false cases filed against the CPB leaders and activists.

CPB Central Committee Secretary Ruhin Hossein Prince and General Secretary of Tannery Workers' Union Abdul Malek addressed the rally.

Addressing the rally the CPB leaders demanded immediate arrest and trial of Jatiya Party leaders and activists who attacked the CPB rally on January 1.

They also demanded withdrawal the false cases filed against the CPB leaders and activists.

They urged all to strengthen the movement against the misrule of the four-party alliances by restoring the constitution of 1972.
