HM Ershad threatens to quit ruling alliance

The Jatiya Party chairman, Hussein Muhammad Ershad, on Saturday warned that his party might quit the ruling alliance if they were not properly evaluated.

Addressing a meeting of the presidents and general secretaries of the party's district and upazila units and front organisations at the

Institute of Diploma Engineers Bangladesh, Ershad accused the Awami League-led government of not giving Jatiya Party lawmakers and leaders the importance they deserved.

He said that his party had joined the alliance at a critical juncture to save the country, but the party had been ignored since the alliance assumed power.

'We have not been given our due share in the government,' do not get cooperation from the government and our suggestions and recommendations are not considered,' the JP chief said.

Ershad said the party was taking opinions of its leaders at different levels over the matter before taking a decision on whether the party should stay in the alliance.

He also urged his party activists to get prepared for the next general elections.

Opposing the National Women Development Policy, Ershad said that the people would not accept any policy or law that would contradicted Shariah or Islamic laws.

JP presidium members Kazi Zafar Ahmed and GM Kader, also civil aviation minister, and secretary general Kazi Firoz Rashid, among others, addressed the meeting.
