"Our blockades will be enforced peacefully, but if anyone interferes and tries to prevent us then we will fight," said Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya, general secretary of city Awami League (AL), at a 14-party's preparatory meeting on January 7 and 8 blockades at the Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) office.

Maya said the 14-party alliance had made all preparations for going to the polls, but Chief Adviser Iajuddin Ahmed's bias towards the BNP and Jamaat and their failure to draw up a correct voter list forced them to boycott the election.

JSD President Hasanul Haq Inu urged 14-party activists to resist the polls to stop the "Conspiracy by BNP-Jamaat-Iajuddin axis."

"Our continuous agitation through tomorrow's (Friday) protests and the blockades will work not only to attain a proper voter list and resist the polls, but also make sure that Iajuddin is removed from his post as chief adviser (CA)," said Inu.

"This is an illegal election because there is no voter list," said Inu, adding, the caretaker government, under the orders of BNP and Jamaat has consolidated the partisanship of the judiciary and administration.

Acting president of Dhaka city AL AKM Rahmatullah called for a greater involvement of people with the grand alliance's movement to remove Iajuddin from the post of CA and ensure free and fair polls.

Other 14-party leaders, including AL leader Haji Selim, Worker's Party General Secretary Bimal Biswas and Sammyabadi Dal General Secretary Dilip Barua also addressed the meeting.
