Jukta Front won't join any of 2 alliances

Jukta Front leader and President of Krishak Sramik Janata League (KSJL) Bangabir Kader Siddiqui Bir Uttam said this at a press conference at KSJL party office at Motijheel in the city on Sunday.

He, however, also said they will not nominate any candidate against Khaleda Zia, Sheikh Hasina and Speaker Barrister Jamiruddin Sircar to show respect to the immediate-past prime minister, leader of the opposition and the Speaker in the parliament.

"We think the country people want to break free from the ruling of these two mainstream political parties and live their life with dignity", said Kader Siddiqui while justifying their decision.

He also said they will contest the upcoming election once a congenial atmosphere to hold a free and fair election is ensured.

The election would not be acceptable if any big alliance boycotts the election, he added.

Blaming the two big parties for making the environment unstable, he said the two political parties have created the atmosphere ambiguous as part of their ill effort to create obstacles in the way of taking election preparation for other political parties.

He said he would contest in five constituencies, but declined to mention any of the names. KSJL has so far submitted nominations for 90 seats, he added.

An atmosphere to submit nomination papers has been created and that is why they have submitted nomination papers, he said while replying to a question.
