It also demanded resignation of Chief Election Commissioner MA Aziz and other election commissioners.

The parishad, an alliance of eight freedom fighters' organisations, made the demands at a press conference at the Liberation War Museum in the city.

In a written statement, Awami League Presidium Member Sajeda Chowdhury said Hasan was made chief justice considering his affiliation with the ruling party after superseding two senior judges in June 2003.

She claimed that Hasan cannot be the chief adviser of the caretaker government during the upcoming parliamentary election as per the constitution.

Sajeda said evil strategies of the BNP-Jamaat coalition government with regard to caretaker government and Election Commission have transcended all previous records of politicisation.

"Democracy, independence and sovereignty of the country are at stake due to politicisation at all levels of administration," said Sajeda, also the convener of the parishad.

Talking about the success of the ongoing dialogue, she said it can be successful within 10 minutes if the government is amiable.

Shajahan Kabir Bir Pratik, member-secretary of the parishad, Dr Makhduma Nargis, general secretary of Mahila Muktijoddha Parishad, Abdus Samad Pintu, general secretary of Muktijoddha Sanghati Parishad and Mohammad Ali Chowdhury, chairman of Muktijoddha Sangsad, also attended the press conference.
