Unveiling his party's 18-point goals for building a happy and prosperous Bangladesh, Jatiya Party (JaPa) chairman H M Ershad on Saturday urged the government to ensure proper atmosphere for holding a free and fair election.

Addressing the party's grand rally at Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital, he also voiced his concern over holding of the elections.

"We are concerned whether the election will be held as a party has declared their seven-point demand which is not possible to fulfil at present situation. But we will take part in the election and we want a congenial atmosphere for a free and fair election," said Ershad.

Urging the party leaders and activists to take preparation, he announced that that his party will contest in all 300 constituencies.
