Activists of Jatiyatabadi Mahila Dal in Lalmonirhat brought out a broom-procession on Wednesday afternoon, protesting Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad’s involvement with the “all-party” polls-time government.
The procession was followed by a protest meeting held in front of the BNP office at the BDR road of Lalmonirhat town.
Jatiyatabadi Mahila Dal leaders Afroza Akhter, Shirina Begum and Babita Begum spoke at the meeting, amongst others.
They alleged that HM Ershad was a liar and said he would go down in history as a liar. They claimed that Ershad had always deceived the nation with his false terms, adding that the Bangladeshi people would never trust him.
Contacted, Lalmonirhat JP Member Secretary Mahbubul Alam Mithu said the party’s chairman had done what was necessary because the nation wanted to see an election.
“All party leaders lie according to their agendas. Ershad just played a political role in favour of the country but it is not the end,” he said adding that Ershad would play a very important role in bringing back peace to the nation through a free and fair parliamentary election.
