GM Quader during a press conference held on Sept 5.Barely two hours after a faction of Jatiya Party leaders declared Senior Co-Chairman Raushan Ershad, party founder HM Ershad’s widow, as the party chief, acting Chairman GM Quader said that there were no rifts within the party.

“Mr Ershad selected me to be the acting chairman of the party during his absence,” Ershad’s brother told the media on Thursday (Sept 5). “Jatiya Party is not split.”

At this time, supporters raised slogans against Presidium member Anisul Islam Mahmud, who earlier in the day announced Raushan as the chief.

“We are doing everything as per the party charter and no one can be replaced without a council. We have no desire to denigrate anyone,” said Quader.

Former secretary-general, Ziauddn Bablu said: “Ershad nominated GM Quader; we respect Raushan Ershad and we will reiterate that Jatiya Party is not faced with a fissure.”
