UNB, Dhaka :
Jatiya Party chairman HM Ershad on Monday alleged that his wife and party senior presidium member Raushon Ershad has belittled the party by making some statements out of her jurisdiction.
In a statement, he also turned down Raushon’s request for revising the party’s national council date in consultation with party senior leaders. Earlier on Sunday, Raushon, also the leader of the opposition in parliament, at a press conference urged party chairman Ershad to take decisions in a democratic manner as Jatiya Party is not the company of any individual.
Reacting to her remarks, Ershad said Raushon has to keep it in mind that she is only the chief of the party’s one unit-the parliamentary party. “The duty of this unit is to carry out parliamentary activities following the party policy. The presidium is its only forum for taking any policy decision, and discussing and evaluating any decision. So, what Raushon said at the press conference as the chief of the parliament party was out of purview of her jurisdiction.” The Jatiya Party chief also said, “She (Raushon) also disparaged the party with her remark and the party is neither anybody’s personal property nor a company.”
As Raushon demanded that article 39 of the party charter be dropped to make it democratic, Ershad said the article was democratically included in the charter through the party council.
“If anyone has any objection to the article, he or she can raise it at the national council, and it can give any verdict for dropping or keeping the article.” He recalled that Raushon was taken back to the party exercising the power of this article. “Those who had been out of the party for 15-16 years taken back to it and made its presidium members using this article.
