Urging supporters and activists to gear up for the upcoming national election, Jatiya Party chief HM Ershad said his only wish was to see the party in power.
“My last wish is to see Jatiya Party in office,” he said on Saturday while addressing the party’s joint meeting on the premises of the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh in Dhaka.
Announcing a public rally at Suhrawardy Udyan for Oct 6 to launch pre-election programmes, Ershad asked leaders and activists to make Jatiya Party stronger further by its new committees in their respective areas ahead of the election.
The former military dictator claimed that the people love Jatiya Party and said his party will free the country from terrorism, killing, enforced disappearance, anarchy, corruption and violence by going to power.
“We’ll build a new Bangladesh where there’ll be harmony and peace, restoring the law and order.”
The Jatiya Party chief also said it has been proven that only Jatiya Party can ensure good governance in the country.
Speaking at the programme, Leader of the Opposition in Parliament and Jatiya Party senior co-chairman Raushon Ershad said their party will free the country from terrorism and ensure people’s welfare and jobs for youths by assuming power through the next polls.
Party senior leaders, including presidium members, also addressed the programme with the participation of several thousand leaders and activists.
