Jatiya Party Chairman Hussein Muhammad Ershad has been made special envoy to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, a rank equivalent to a ministerial position.
A gazette was published in this regard on Sunday evening after the cabinet of the 10th parliament was sworn into office.
Although Jatiya Party is now officially the opposition in the parliament, it will be led by the party’s primary Presidium Member Rawshan Ershad.
Ershad was “put” to Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in the capital since December after he voiced his desire to boycott the 10th parliamentary polls. He has been there since the elections.
However, he appeared for his swearing-in as a member of the 10th parliament at the office of Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury on Saturday.
