Jatiya Party (JP) chief HM Ershad has announced he is setting up a new
political alliance.
“We have discussed it. Announcement of a new alliance will come very soon,”
he said at a party meeting on Thursday.On Wednesday, the top rung of Jatiya Party had a meeting with Bikalpadhara
Bangladesh chief AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury, Krishak Sramik Janata League
chief
Quader Siddiqui and JSD chief ASM Abdur Rob.
“An alternative alliance will come up very soon,” Ershad said Thursday.
Ganaforum President Dr Kamal Hossain will be in the alliance, he said.
But it was not clear whether Ershad will continue to be a constituent of
the Awami league led alliance — or whether he will position himself in the
Opposition.
In recent months, the former military dictator has often been critical of
the Awami League.
But he has also stressed the need for elections and a way out of the
current impasse.-bdnews24.com
