India is trying to understand the new emerging political force, Jukto Front as its envoy had a luncheon meeting with its leaders on Monday (Nov 19).

"I came here to understand what this party is all about, what is their ideology, how do they see things," said Indian High Commissioner Harsh Vardhan Shringla after the meeting.

This is the first time Shringla had a meeting with former president and seasoned politician Dr Badruzzoza Chowdhury.

The envoy said the election process in Bangladesh is an internal affair of the country.

Bikalpa Dhara Secretary General Abdul Mannan said they briefed the envoy about the party, which is somehow at the centre and not lenient to any of the two big parties.

Former foreign secretary and Bikalpa Dhara Presidium member Shamsher Mubin Chowdhury said we explained what we want to do for our next generation.

Presidium member of Bikalpa Dhara Mahi B Chowdhury said they had an interaction with British High Commissioner Alison Blake and have plans to meet other envoys.

Bikalpa Dhaka is formed by BNP renegades 14 years back and now it has joined Al-led alliance to take part in the upcoming election.
