Bablu made JP secy general

Ershad ousts Hawlader

Rashidul Hasan
In a sudden move, Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad last night removed Ruhul Amin Hawlader as the party’s secretary general and appointed Ziauddin Ahmed Bablu as the new second-in-command.
In a media release, Ershad said JP Presidium Member Bablu has been appointed the party's secretary general in recognition of his "significant role" in the party.
"This order will be executed immediately, " he added.
Hawlader, who rose to the post of secretary general in 2002, however remains in the party as a presidium member.
Party insiders said Bablu is known to be loyal to Ershad's wife Raushan Ershad, who is running the show in the party right now.
The former first lady is also the opposition leader in the House and her core followers led by Bablu and Anisul Islam Mahmud, another JP presidium member, maintain good relations with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The pro-Raushan group played a key role in bringing the JP in the January 5 one-sided and controversial election by making Ershad inactive in the party.
In the polls-time government,
Hasina appointed Bablu as one of her adviser.
Ershad, a former military dictator known as a political chameleon, in November last year backtracked from his earlier decision about participating in the January 5 polls.
He announced that the JP would not take part in the election as it was not inclusive.
On December 12, he was “forcibly" taken to Dhaka's Combined Military Hospital from his Baridhara residence and kept there until the election was over.
Hawlader was also against taking part in the election and it irked the ruling Awami League high-ups, added the source.
Besides, Bablu has had conflict with Hawlader in the party for years, added the insiders.
A JP leader claimed the AntiCorruption Commission decided to enquire Hawlader's "illicit wealth" and this is also a reason for his removal.
Hawlader could not be reached for comments.
