UNB, Dhaka :
Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad on Tuesday urged the prime minister to hold a national dialogue with all political parties in the House who do not believe in politics of arson to rescue the country from a severe crisis.
“Good governance is not only questioned today, it has been shot,” said the former general depicting
the country’s current scenario. Taking part in a general discussion on the proposed budget in Parliament, Ershad said people cannot avail the benefits of development if good governance does not exist.
“No one is safe today. Thirteen persons have become victims of secret killings since March last. Is this a sign of good governance?” the JP leader questioned. Such a culture of impunity cannot continue for long, Ershad said, adding that “development is impossible without good governance”.
Criticizing Finance Minister AMA Muhith, Ershad said he was Finance Minister under my regime also, the difference being banks were not looted back then. “If he (Muhith) can show that banks were looted during my tenure, I will quit politics today,” he added.
He demanded a white paper on various incidents of “looting” and scams of all kinds in the financial sector in recent years.
