Jatiya Oikyafront on Thursday announced a 2-day programme, including demonstration wearing black badges and holding a public hearing, protesting what it said ‘vote robbery ‘ in the December-30 national election.

Jatiya Oikyafront spokesman Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir announced the programmes after a meeting of the steering committee of the alliance at Dr Kalam Hossain’s Motijheel chamber.

“Today’s Oikyafront steering committee meeting decided to hold a black badge wearing programme in front of the Jatiya Press club on February 6 protesting vote robbery on December 30,” he said.

Fakhrul said the programme will begin at 3pm and conclude at 4 pm with the participation of Oikyafront leaders and activists.

Besides, he said, their alliance will hold a public hearing with the participation of Oikyafront candidates and victimised voters on February 24.
