JP will return to power if fair election is held, says Ershad

Jatiya Party (JP) chairman HM Ershad said Jatiya Party will return to power if a fair national election is held. He said this while speaking as chief guest at the biennial council of his party’s Bogra district unit at Shaheed Titu Poura Auditorium yesterday. Ershad said Jatiya Party has not yet lost its charm as a mass-wave is created wherever he goes. Ershad, also a special envoy to the Prime Minister, said people have now no security of their lives and property. “Many are returning home dead after going out to cast their votes,” he said. He said the current election commission is cowardice and shameless. Free and fair election is not possible under this government. He said people are now fed-up with the misrule of the current regime and its failure to ensure peace and stability in the country.  “People want fair elections and a proper atmosphere to lead a normal life. They want to get rid of the current miserable condition,” he said. He said his party will be able to restore peace and stability in the country if it is voted to power. He urged his party men to get united and make Jatiya Party a strong political organisation to return to power. Turning to Comilla Victoria College student Sohagi Jahan Tonu murder, Ershad said, “Tonu’s body was exhumed twice only to say nothing wrong has been found. A few days later, they may say there was no girl named Tonu and it is a creation of media issue.” He also alleged that people now neither can speak the truth nor get justice for lack of good governance. “People’s lives are now the cheapest things in the country. It can’t be run this way,” he added. Ershad also said the people of Bangladesh want proper justice in Tonu murder case.  Party co-chairman GM Quader, secretary general Ruhul Amin Howlader party’s district unit president Shariful Islam Zinnah, MP and general secretary Nurul Islam Omar MP, among others, spoke at the programme. Sharif and Omar have been made reelected president and general secretary respectively of the unit at the council. The council was last held in 2010.
