Two writ petitions were filed with the High Court today -- one challenging the legality of the 10th, 11th, and 12th parliamentary elections, and another seeking necessary directives from the authorities concerned to bar 11 parties from politics dut to their alleged involvement in murder, state takeover, and damaging democracy and constitutional institutions.
The parties are Bangladesh Awami League, Jatiya Party (Ershad), Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal, Bikalpadhara Bangladesh, Tarikat Federation, Communist Party of Bangladesh, Liberal Democratic Party, Jatiya Party (Manju), Ganatantri Dal, Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist–Leninist) (Barua), and Socialist Party of Bangladesh.
