The formal joining took place on Friday during a courtyard meeting organized by the Shuktagar Union in support of the party’s electoral symbol, the balance scale. Prominent among the new members are Md. Abdul Hamid, joint convener of Ganadhikar Parishad’s Rajapur unit, and Engineer Al-Amin, joint general secretary of the central committee of the Labour Rights Council and president of its Jhalakathi district branch.
