Ershad fears chaos over CG issue
Jatiya Party Chairman HM yesterday expressed his apprehension about the confrontational situation in the country over the issue of the caretaker government.
“The time ahead of us is very crucial as the country might be put into a chaotic situation if we fail to reach a solution on the caretaker government issue,” the former president said at a discussion at the party's Banani office.
He, however, did not elaborate the nature of the confrontational situation.
The Jatiya Party organised the discussion to mark International Mother Language Day.
Speaking as chief guest, Ershad said an amicable solution to get out of the deadlock over the issue must be found.
He said the appointment process of the chief election commissioner and other election commissioners has not been accepted by all, which is also a matter of concern.
He stressed the need for abolishing all undemocratic systems from the constitution including, the provision of appointing unelected persons as ministers.
He also said the judiciary should have a separate secretariat instead of being under the law ministry.
The former military ruler also criticised the present government, saying that people are not happy with the way the present government is running the country.
“Change is imperative for the betterment of people and only the Jatiya Party can bring about the change. Therefore, we will run independently in the next general election," he added.
The party's Secretary General ABM Ruhul Amin Hawlader, presidium members Kazi Zafar Ahmed, Ziauddin Ahmed Bablu and MA Hannan, among others, also spoke at the meeting.
Meanwhile, the Anwar Hossain Manju-led Jatiya Party (JP) yesterday at another discussion urged all to reach a consensus on the caretaker government issue.
Manju said politics is now dominated by people other than politicians, which is harmful for politics.
Speaking as chief guest, Awami League senior leader Tofail Ahmed said the present culture of confrontational politics should be shunned.
Such politics should be practised that future generation can learn from it, he added.
