Ershad not trusted

Say his 'new allies'

Staff Correspondent
Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad has said he will soon announce a new alliance, but Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh and Bangladesh Krishak Sramik Janata League, with whom he wants to build political partnership, have expressed scepticism
FROM PAGE 16 about his move.
Reiterating his intention to form a separate alliance, the JP chief yesterday said his party had "almost no relationship" with the ruling grand alliance after his brother GM Quader, a presidium member of JP, had resigned from the cabinet.
He will soon make a formal announcement in this regard and form a new alliance, he said at a meeting of Jatiya Jubo Sanghati, a youth forum of JP, in the Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh in the capital.
But on Friday at a meeting in Tangail, Janata League President Kader Siddique said Ershad was still with "the big thief, alluding to the ruling Awami League.
"I did not invite him |Ershad] to come here [Tangail] to join this meeting."
Kader added he would not talk to Ershad until he left" the alliance of big thieves".
Meanwhile, sources in Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh said its chief AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury also did not trust Ershad and was
not clear about his motives behind forming an alliance comprised of these three parties and others.
"Maybe he has some other political agenda," said the source last night, quoting Badruddoza as saying to him.
Yesterday, Ershad also said his party did not want to be labelled as a betrayer by participating in the next national elections if the other parties did not take part.
" I don't want to die as a betrayer."
He also said elections must be held for a continuation of the democratic process.
"We are in such a position that we don't know what to do regarding the next polls," Ershad noted.
Ershad sat with top leaders of Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh, Janata League and Jatiya Samajtantrik Dai-Rob at Badruddoza Chowdhury's Baridhara residence on Tuesday.
At a meeting the following day he said he would make an announcement within a day or two on JP cutting its ties with the ruling alliance to form a new alliance.
