Jatiya Muktimancha is the force of the Liberation War and we want to ensure liberty of the nation from the misrule by using this platform”  

Jatiya Ganatantrik Party and Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish have already joined the new platform.

Addressing a press conference at the Jatiya Press Club in Dhaka, Bangladesh LDP president said that while he will move forward with the new platform but the 20-party alliance will remain intact.

Replying to a query on whether the LDP will be with the alliance, LDP president said Jatiya Muktimancha is not an alliance. 

Explaining the forming of the platform,  “We cannot remain inactive in the existing vulnerable economic and political situation.”  – he added. 

“Khaleda Zia should be freed and democracy should be restored,” he said, adding that they were establishing the new platform to achieve these targets.

“We hope that all the forces who believe in nationalism will be united to free the nation,”  the LDP president also said.

Mr. Oli demanded mid-term election under a non-partisan interim government while presenting the 18-point demand.

“We will go to people with our demands. We will tell them clearly that we will not engage in any sort of destructive activities or assist anyone in carrying out criminal activities.”

The demands also include forming expert committees to investigate financial scams and capital market scams, forming a legal aid committee to provide assistance to repressed leaders and activists, and an annulment of the digital security act.
