The people are waiting for that moment when the Awami League (AL)-led 14-Party Grand Alliance will bid farewell to power, Jatiya Party (JP) chairman and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s special envoy HM Ershad said yesterday. “We’re waiting to say goodbye to the AL. Nobody praises the rule of the AL government. Everybody wants the AL to leave power,” said Ershad while talking to JP Rangpur divisional representatives at the Banani party office in the city. He urged all party leaders  and activists to utilise the  opportunity, saying that they would otherwise face a challenge of survival.  He said the popularity of the ruling AL is at “level zero”. “No one is our friend. We’re our own friends. We should work together to strengthen the party. Only then, the people will run after the JP,” he added. The former military ruler said there is no democracy in the country. “The country is now going through a phase of anarchy (Jahliat). There is no security and good governance here,” he added.
The JP chairman alleged that the AL-led government is getting rid of meritorious officers by politicising the administration. “The JP has never politicised the administration. We want to establish good governance in the country once again,” the former president claimed.  Ershad said the people do not want to see either the AL or the BNP in power, as the latter has already lost its political as well as organisational strength. He added that the JP will come to power next by allotting competent candidates at the grassroots level.
“It is a shame that a red alert has been issued for foreigners. Deploying the BGB to ensure security for foreigners is not a good sign and such initiatives will never establish peace in the country,” he said. JP secretary general Ziauddin Ahmed Bablu, presidium member GM Kader, state minister for LGRD and cooperative Moshiur Rahman Ranga, opposition chief whip in Parliament Tajul Islam Chowdhury, JP presidium member Sunil Shuva Roy and senior joint secretary general Rezaul Islam Bhuiyan also spoke on the occasion.
