The demands were placed by alliance leaders at a protest rally at Saheb Bazar zero point while observing the countrywide blockade programme yesterday.

They said CA Iajuddin Ahmed is conspiring to hold an election as per a blue-print of BNP-Jamaat-led four-party coalition.

The alliance leaders asked Iajuddin to quit the post of CA immediately, and appoint a non-party person as CA.

They said people will not allow anybody to hold farcical election in the country.

"We will resist such election at the cost of our blood," said AL leader Liton.

The speakers said it is not possible to hold a free and fair election with a partisan chief adviser and a flawed voter list.

The rally was addressed by NAP leader Mustafizur Rahman Khan, JSD leaders Julfiquar Mannan Jami and Abdullah Al Masud Shibly, AL leader Naosher Ali, LDP leader Afzal Al Iqbal, JP leader Durul Huda and Workers' Party Politburo Member Fazle Hossain Badsha.

City unit AL General Secretary AHM Khairuzzaman Liton was in the chair.

Earlier, a procession was brought out that paraded main streets in the city.
