Country under one-party rule: Ershad

Jatiya Party chairman HM Ershad Sunday asked his party men to take all-out preparations for the next general election as people want to get rid of Awami League and BNP.
“People have not forgotten me. They’re looking for a change…they’re waking up. So, we don’t have time to rest now. I’m going to different parts of the country. You also don’t sit idle. Now every minute is valuable for us as we don’t have much time in our hands,” he said.
The former military ruler made the remarks while exchanging views with leaders of Jatiya Sramik Party at his Banani office, according to a news agency.
Ershad, also a special envoy to the Prime Minister, alleged that the country is now run by as per the will of a single party. “People had a dream for democracy, but it has got shattered with the misrule of two parties (AL-BNP). Democracy means the rule of people, but now the country is under a one-party rule.”
