Fifteen Left parties say they want to provide the people with an “alternative” to the two mainstream parties — the BNP and the ruling Awami League.

They will begin with a sit-in Tuesday while former prime minister and leader of opposition in parliament Khaleda Zia announced her programme at a rally in Dhaka earlier this week, New Age newspaper said.
